Forecasts
The Churchill Lad (2/1), Cracking Rhapsody (9/4), Ginger Mail (10/3), Bois Guillbert (7/2), Russian Virtue (5/1)
A case can be made for all of the quintet but CRACKING RHAPSODY steps into handicap company on an upward curve so edges the vote. The Churchill Lad rates a big threat though on the back of his Haydock victory, while it would come as no surprise if both Bois Guillbert and Ginger Mail got back on track and had a say too.
