Forecasts

Jukebox Joker (3/1), Coconut Twist (7/2), Babatunde (4/1), Wonderweasle (4/1), Decorated (7/1), Lady Showtime (7/1), Richardson (16/1), Inchiquin Spirit (16/1), Archie Macdart (16/1), Largy Valley (20/1), Bobalot (22/1), Churchman (25/1), Hi Riko (28/1), Nobody Told Me (33/1), Sonic Gold (66/1), L'empire Vert (100/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of Evan Williams' JUKEBOX JOKER who can race off the same mark as when a very good Ffos Las fourth (form been franked) last time out and remains with few miles on the clock. The consistent Wonderweasle seems sure to be on the premises and is next on the list, with Exeter-scorer Coconut Twist and the leniently-treated Decorated worthy of consideration too. Handicap debutant Sonic Gold completes the shortlist.
