Forecasts

Rain Cap (13/8), Langholm (9/2), Sassy Glory (9/2), Saxon Kingdom (5/1), Starshot (13/2), Anificas Beauty (9/1), Obee Jo (11/1), She's A Goldigger (14/1), Desert Dream (18/1), Maid Of Killybegs (28/1), Rum Runner (33/1), Oselton (33/1), Blackanddeckers (150/1)

This is wide open but multiple course winner RAIN CAP arrives on the back of an improved Pontefract success so get the vote ahead of Irish challenger Saxon Kingdom. Langholm is also weighted to have a big say and needs factoring in, while Anificas Beauty and Obee Jo can't be discounted either.
