Forecasts

Niceandeasy (9/4), Juge Et Parti (3/1), Glittering Love (10/3), Kalaharry (7/2), Donna's Delight (9/2), Strong Economy (11/2)

STRONG ECONOMY won twice at Ayr last season, including over C&D, and returned to his best when runner-up here in January. He is now back down to his last winning mark so could be able to get his head in front again. Glittering Love also goes wel here as a 3-time C&D winner and he remains well-treated on old form, but Juge et Parti is feared most having been in good form over fences this season.
