Forecasts

Symbolic Spirit (11/8), Wonderweasle (7/2), Copernic Du Mazet (4/1), Mountain Pass (15/2), Twoconduit (17/2), Ballynaheer (9/1), Charmian's Place (9/1), Eric Carmen (16/1), Stargazer Belle (18/1), Fantastic Artist (50/1)

Dan Skelton's new recruit SYMBOLIC SPIRIT rates just the pick of these weights and shaped as if the run would bring her on when third after a lay-off at Fakenham so edges the vote. Handicap-newcomer Copernic du Mazet is next on the list ahead of Wonderweasle and Twoconduit.
