Forecasts

Cauthen (6/5), Nefyn Beach (9/2), Medoras Childe (6/1), Treasured Company (6/1), Speed Skater (8/1), Gregorian Girl (12/1), Secret Magic (12/1), Apron Strings (20/1), Tintern Spirit (33/1), Laguna Spirit (33/1)

This looks weaker than the first division, with the usual proviso that a few are not fully exposed, and Cauthen sets the standard on his latest fifth over C&D. He's respected, but it won't take a great leap for one of the others to match his exploits, and a chance is taken on the well-bred NEFYN BEACH, who has caught the eye in qualifying, and ought to do much better now handicapped. Secret Magic is another who appeals as being capable of better, and is also shortlisted
