Forecasts

Angels Dawn (15/8), Whatsnotoknow (5/1), Coko Beach (7/1), Death Duty (15/2), Notice To Close (9/1), Portstorm (10/1), Diol Ker (10/1), Champagne Platinum (12/1), Stones And Roses (14/1), Defi Bleu (25/1), Captain Kangaroo (50/1), Milan Native (80/1)

ANGELS DAWN arrives on the up so is taken to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and follow up his Down Royal success over this longer trip. Gordon Elliott has an excellent record in this event and last year's winner Death Duty rates a big threat. In-form pair Diol Ker and Coko Beach complete the shortlist.
