Forecasts

Sam's Hope (4/5), Nordic Glory (4/1), Red Walls (5/1), Araifjan (10/1), Piranha Rama (10/1), Rotation (10/1), Mighty Gurkha (10/1), Sarabi (16/1), Savalas (16/1), Havana Miss (28/1), Stoneacre Girl (33/1), Kurimu (50/1), Noble Phoenix (66/1)

SAM'S HOPE arrives on the back of a string of good in-frame efforts and Oisin Murphy might be the man to get her head back in front. Nordic Glory has a good record here and will likely pose a threat if a wide stall isn't too big of an inconvenience. Sarabi had an excuse at Chelmsford last week and also makes the shortlist.
