Forecasts

Hermes Le Gris (2/1), Crossbeau (9/2), Lifetime Legend (7/1), Wise Guy (15/2), Mrs Grimley (15/2), Mattie Ross (11/1), Jeteye (12/1), Ceejaybe (14/1), Crystal Mer (16/1), Jaxonne (16/1), Molly's Third Man (20/1), Pep Talking (50/1), Knot On Time (50/1), Jamaicaine (66/1), Den The Diva (66/1)

Preference is for HERMES LE GRIS, who was in control when departing 2 out at Southwell last week and is able to race off the same mark here. Crossbeau was also unfortunate not to score at Chepstow last time and looks the obvious danger, whilst Mattie Ross may be the pick of several interesting handicap debutants.
