Forecasts

Came From The Dark (3/1), Count D'Orsay (4/1), Mid Winster (5/1), Dark Shot (7/1), Militia (9/1), Copper Knight (12/1), Ainsdale (14/1), Lord Riddiford (14/1), Fantasy Keeper (20/1), Glory Fighter (20/1), George Cornelius (80/1)

Verdict

Marginal preference is for CAME FROM THE DARK who scored twice over C&D last season and signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up to Cound d'Orsay here last time. Tim Easterby's top weight is 2 lb worse off now but still feared most, especially if the ground eases noticeably. Dark Shot is another to consider under a penalty for his ready Leicester success.

  2. COUNT D'ORSAY (IRE)
  3. DARK SHOT
