Forecasts

Cotton Club (6/4), Royal Ruby (13/8), Swashbuckle (9/2), Black Prince (8/1), Drovers Lane (16/1), Pandinus Imperator (50/1), Auld Sod (50/1), It's Grand (80/1), Reaplee (100/1)

This can go to COTTON CLUB, who finished third on debut over obstacles over C&D when last seen, and with any amount of progression he should be able to get off the mark in a race where a number of the contenders don't look up to winning a maiden. Swashbuckle was useful on the Flat and could have more to offer over hurdles and looks the main danger, while Royal Ruby returns to maiden company having struggled in handicaps.
