Forecasts

Cadell (5/2), Velasco (10/3), Shoeshine Boy (11/2), Ned Tanner (6/1), Imperial Merlin (8/1), Dare To Shout (10/1), Guernesey (16/1), Tiger Jet (22/1), Barbados Buck's (25/1), Scipion (80/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but IMPERIAL MERLIN gets the vote given he had every chance when a late faller over fences here last time out and returns to this sphere on a handy-looking mark. Brian Hughes is also back in the saddle too. Cadell is feared most with the promise of better to come on his handicap debut, although in-form trio Velasco, Ned Tanner and Dare To Shout all command plenty of respect too.
