Forecasts

Konfusion (1/1), Diamond Mix (7/1), Halpha Soleil (8/1), Divas Doyen (9/1), Low Mileage (10/1), Lewa House (10/1), Shadows In The Sky (12/1), Fia Fuinidh (20/1), Billable Grant (22/1), Cudgel (25/1), Derracrin (80/1)

KONFUSION should have more to offer over fences and is a confident pick assuming this doesn't come a bit quick on him after Wetherby. The step back up in trip should suit last month's Newcastle runner-up Diamond Mix and he's second choice ahead of Low Mileage, who has refound some form since the cheekpieces and tongue tie combination have gone on.
