Forecasts

Colonial Empire (6/4), Half The Freedom (9/2), Mac Be Lucky (5/1), My Granny Lily (8/1), Bensini (9/1), Weaver's Answer (12/1), Tribal Commander (14/1), Mind Hunter (16/1), Barrier Peaks (20/1), Syr Maffos (20/1), The Wire Flyer (22/1), Borak (33/1), Fiamette (40/1), Watchoutitscookie (50/1), Angus De Bull (50/1), Howdy Partner (50/1), Hoochygoochyman (66/1), Fou Diligence (125/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and COLONIAL EMPIRE is fancied to make light of a 4 lb rise for his Leicester success and go in again. Half The Freedom could emerge as the chief threat if shrugging off his below-par Exeter sixth, with handicap-debutant Watchoutitscookie another to consider.
