Forecasts

Victors Dream (3/1), Gustav Graves (7/2), Doctor Mozart (9/2), Katar (5/1), Aconcagua Mountain (6/1), Sherdil (13/2), Cuban Grey (17/2), Lil Wade (11/1), Rhubarb (12/1), Daley T (66/1), Captain Bentley (100/1)

Plenty with chances but GUSTAV GRAVES looked unlucky not to score over C&D last time so this course winner gets the nod off a 1 lb lower mark here. C&D scorer Doctor Mozart has enjoyed a good year and seems sure to be in the mix once more with in-form pair Katar and Rhubarb both firmly in the picture too.
