Forecasts

Judex Lefou (11/4), The Boat (10/3), Hang Tough (11/2), Hartland Quay (13/2), Gaelic Thunder (10/1), Celma Des Bois (10/1), Cobra Commander (12/1), Ballycorr (16/1), Oxwich Bay (20/1), Fair To Dream (40/1)

Not a race to dwell on with several of these arriving out of form. However JUDEX LEFOU opened his account at Exeter last month, and having confirmed that improvement when runner-up at Huntingdon 8 days later, Tim Vaughan's charge gets the verdict to double his career tally. The Boat, Celma des Bois and Hang Tough can fight out minor honours.
