Forecasts

Pink Eyed Pancho (5/2), Get The Value (9/2), Ventara (9/2), Mr Zee (11/2), Square Du Roule (9/1), Inchagoill Lady (9/1), Thankyouandplease (10/1), Byzantium (14/1), Kintaro (14/1), Stinginhisstep (40/1), Oval Street (50/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but THANKYOUANDPLEASE rates the pick at these weights on the back of his eye-catching recent third here so gets the nod. Taunton scorer Pink Eyed Pancho looks to have more to offer and is next on the list, although the likes of Get The Value, Byzantium, Mr Zee and Inchagoill Lady can all have a say too in this competitive handicap.
