Forecasts

Grand Scheme (11/10), Addosh (7/2), Socks Off (13/2), Blended Stealth (8/1), Huit Reflets (10/1), Allbetsoff (14/1), Cage Rattler (14/1), Serious Ego (16/1), Wolfburg (16/1), Gemini Man (25/1), Edmond Dantes (66/1), Likleman (200/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and GRAND SCHEME is impossible to oppose under a 7 lb penalty for his recent facile Southwell victory. C&D scorer Serious Ego appeals as the one to chase home Sam England's improver ahead of in-form duo Socks Off and Addosh.
