Forecasts

Monmiral (15/8), General Officer (10/3), Jackpot De Choisel (9/2), Holmes St Georges (13/2), Marble Sands (7/1), Glory And Honour (12/1)

None of these can be ruled out but JACKPOT DE CHOISEL looked ahead of his mark when a smooth-travelling scorer over C&D last time and can make light of a 5 lb rise. General Officer arrives at the top of his game and can chase home John McConnell's Irish raider ahead of the reliable Glory And Honour and handily-weighted Monmiral.
