Forecasts

Walson's Law (15/8), Dubai Beach (5/1), Berry Clever (11/2), Newfangled (6/1), Savvy Exchange (9/1), Giant (11/1), Calanthe (14/1), Ombrecell (16/1), Port Road (18/1), Outgun (18/1), Monopolise (20/1), Wadacre Grace (50/1), Landing Board (100/1), Double Time (125/1)

The quick turnaround is a slight concern but WALSON'S LAW won at Windsor in the style of one who could have more to offer. Newfangled added to his solid record this year when chasing home the selection at Windsor and should go well again, while handicap newcomer Dubai Beach looks on a good mark if she can recapture the form she showed when second in a C&D novice last year.
