Forecasts

Grand Voyage (15/8), Geonice (9/4), Hungry Tiger (17/2), Fever Roque (12/1), Silk Or Scarlet (14/1), The Jad Factor (14/1), Well Cliche (14/1), Queen Of Fame (16/1), Definite Wisdom (28/1), Tartan Cookie (28/1), Any Job Will Do (50/1), Fair Minx (50/1), Farocco (50/1), Dr Shirocco (80/1)

A few with chances, but GEONICE comes here at the top of his game and is fancied to add to his Hexham success with Brian Hughes again in the saddle. Top weight Grand Voyage has still to get his head in front but is feared most on the back of his recent second here, with both Fever Roque and Queen of Fame high on the shortlist too.
