Forecasts

Absolutely Dylan (10/3), Iwasthefutureonce (4/1), Prince Dundee (5/1), Monte Alban (6/1), Tour De Pub (13/2), Well Smitten (8/1), Blow By Blow (9/1), Westend Theatre (10/1), Oh No (16/1), Square Viviani (16/1), Mcginty's Dream (16/1), Graystown (22/1), Nakadam (25/1), Hidden Cargo (40/1), Article Fifty (50/1), Kitty Fisher (66/1)

ABSOLUTELY DYLAN is still weighted to win one of these and this could be it with his yard going well. Prince Dundee has a good record here and showed he retains his ability when third over C&D last time, so rates the main threat ahead of Well Smitten, who has dipped below his last winning mark.
