Forecasts

Not What It Seems (1/1), Cartonne (11/10), Teescomponentsfly (10/1), Clean Getaway (40/1), Pepite Fleurie (50/1)

Flat winner TEESCOMPONENTSFLY is likely to come into his own when switched to handicaps in this sphere, but he showed more than enough when third in a similar event over C&D recently to suggest that he can deliver the goods in a race of this nature. Not What It Seems finally got the job done here last time, but he has more on his plate under a penalty and Cartonne, who hasn't done much wrong since switched to hurdles, is the clear main danger.
