Forecasts

The Secrets Out (9/2), Bird For Life (9/2), Hallingham (13/2), Magic Beans (7/1), Sanches (7/1), The Juggler (10/1), Tapdancealltheway (11/1), Garcon De Soleil (12/1), Bergholt (12/1), Howardian Hills (16/1), Ablaze (20/1), Mr Lando (20/1), Melabi (25/1), Saint Helena (40/1)

Sanches ran well enough at Kempton to suggest he can make his presence felt, while Mr Lando is not without hope after a recent win over jumps at Plumpton. The selection, though, is GARCON DE SOLEIL, who won at this track on heavy ground last time and can defy a 7lb weight rise. Bird For Life is in good heart and is considered, along with Bergholt, who was well backed last time only to fluff the start.
