Forecasts

Admiral Rooke (5/2), Travel Lightly (4/1), Mearing (9/2), Gleaming Sun (17/2), She's Royal (12/1), She's Different (12/1), Mountain Breath (14/1), Straight Ash (14/1), Highland Bobby (14/1), Zahraa (25/1), Soar Above (40/1)

Money for She's Royal would be interesting ahead of this, with a 10lb drop from her initial handicap mark potentially generous. However, Chris Fairhurst has his team in good shape at present and there may be more to come from MOUNTAIN BREATH, now stepped up to this trip. She's Different is another to whom that applies, while Admiral Rooke and Gleaming Sun both have positives to their names.
