Forecasts

Cornish Comedy (9/5), Northern Air (7/2), Bobbi's Beauty (4/1), Roger Rarebit (6/1), Koenigsstern (13/2), The Grey Man (10/1), Pescatorius (18/1), Rathmacknee (20/1), Almeirinda (80/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to CORNISH COMEDY who looked a different model sent chasing when a clear runner-up at Hereford and can go one better off just a 2 lb higher mark. In-form Bobbi's Beauty could prove a major threat though if her stamina holds out stepped up in distance. Others to consider in a competitive event include Koenigsstern, Roger Rarebit, Pescatorius and Northern Air.
