Forecasts

Effet Special (5/2), Leeswood Lily (10/3), El Jefe (4/1), Mr Melda (7/1), Xpo Universel (9/1), Hats Off To Larry (10/1), The Herds Garden (12/1), Lizzie Loch (16/1), Fernhill Lad (25/1), Imperial Focus (25/1)

Lots of these have question marks against them, so it's worth siding with the lightly-raced MR MELDA to build on his recent Chepstow fourth now he goes into handicaps and open his account. C&D winner Effet Special is weighted to have a big say if freshened up after a break. Veteran The Herds Garden appeals as the pick of the remainder.
