Forecasts

Champ (9/2), Speedo Boy (9/2), Who's My Jockey (8/1), Barters Hill (9/1), Le Musee (10/1), Man Of Plenty (10/1), Padleyourowncanoe (12/1), Sleep Easy (14/1), Boite (16/1), Air Horse One (16/1), Potters Story (16/1), Vaziani (20/1), Big Chief Benny (20/1), Sussex Ranger (28/1), Golden Birthday (40/1)

Lots of these are in with a chance, but heading the list are Speedo Boy and CHAMP with the vote going to the latter, who is unexposed and could be well weighted on his handicap debut. Bottom-weight Le Musee could go well if it rains, while Vaziani is capable of better and Who's My Jockey may be suited by the drop in distance.
