Forecasts

De Rasher Counter (11/4), Hogan's Height (9/2), Touch Kick (6/1), Town Parks (6/1), Conna Cross (13/2), Creep Desbois (10/1), Calipto (14/1), Enjoy Responsibly (25/1), Opening Batsman (25/1), Too Many Diamonds (25/1), Dusky Lark (40/1)

The ease in grade for TOO MANY DIAMONDS may provide another slice of good fortune for Dan Skelton's tough-as-teak gelding, who edges the nomination as the one to on here. Creep Desbois and De Rasher Counter are a couple of others with leading claims in this company, while a downpour of rain would also aid the cause for Conna Cross, who is respected despite propping up the handicap today.
