Forecasts

Eyed (11/4), Walk On Quest (4/1), Fortunate Man (6/1), Deafening Silence (6/1), Minella Blueway (13/2), Latenightrumble (7/1), Stans The Man (10/1), High Treason (20/1), Isaac Des Obeaux (22/1)

Cases can be made for most of these, but the suggestion is WALK ON QUEST, who is unbeaten in 4 starts over fences and Lucinda Russell's 6-y-o had plenty up his sleeve when scoring at Kelso a fortnight ago. Heading up the dangers is Latenightrumble, who looked an unlucky loser at Wetherby last month, with Deafening Silence and Minella Blueway taken to fight out minor honours.
