Forecasts

Keep Wondering (7/2), Wouldubewell (4/1), Orrisdale (9/2), Geryville (11/2), Up Helly Aa King (6/1), The Crooner (13/2), Thomas Macdonagh (10/1), Town Parks (16/1), Saint Xavier (20/1), Tanarpino (22/1), Informateur (25/1), Minella Till Dawn (40/1), Fine Theatre (66/1)

Lots with chances in a cracking handicap chase. GERYVILLE has made a great start for Micky Hammond and is weighted to go close nudged up just 1 lb for his recent excellent Wetherby second (winner gone in again). Orrisdale also comes here at the top of his game and is greatly feared with the returning The Crooner and Fontwell scorer Wouldubewell both high on the shortlist too.
