Forecasts

Opera King (5/2), R Bernard (4/1), Pearl Island (5/1), Horizon D'or (13/2), Ann D'arabie (17/2), Karakoram (12/1), Pollyonesock (12/1), Caspers Court (12/1), Getaway Cory (25/1), Tis But A Scratch (66/1), G'day Aussie (125/1)

Preference is for OPERA KING, who found improvement when runner-up at Market Rasen last month and remains relatively low mileage. Horizon d'Or and R Bernard are feared most.
