Forecasts

Macanudo (5/2), Commander Of Life (4/1), Parker's Piece (4/1), Zipster (7/1), Magic Fluke (17/2), Ihopeyoulike (11/1), Skilled Master (12/1), St Lukes Chelsea (12/1), Invincible Royale (20/1), Merrimack (66/1), Test For Love (66/1), Cogsworth (80/1), Babyigotyourmoney (200/1), Ludberg (250/1)

Preference is for COMMANDER OF LIFE, who stepped up markedly on his debut effort when second at Lingfield last month and remains with potential. Macanudo and Parker's Piece are feared most.
