Forecasts

Copernic Du Mazet (11/4), Ballynaheer (4/1), Lifetime Legend (6/1), Halligator (13/2), Saxons Lane (7/1), Ideal De Romay (9/1), Quian (9/1), Sir Cilia (10/1), Copper Fox (14/1), Gms Prince (16/1), Nothinelsematters (25/1), Magna Moralia (33/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and COPERNIC DU MAZET is fancied to build on his recent Huntingdon second and get the better of Ballynaheer this time on these 6 lb more advantageous terms. David Dennis' scorer could still emerge as the main danger though, with handicapping debutant Saxons Lane also well in the mix.
