Forecasts

Annie Express (2/1), Call Me Arthur (7/2), Hardy Buck (7/2), Orange Diamond (7/2), Moor End (6/1), Limetree Boy (12/1), There's Claude (14/1), Lord Maher (33/1), Honneur De Sivola (50/1), Voleur De Terres (125/1)

This looks a strong race for the grade. ANNIE EXPRESS has to prove she can cope with a 7-day turnaround given her lightly-raced profile but she's unpenalised for last week's Ludlow win and has the scope to rate quite a bit higher. Orange Diamond and Moor End head the opposition.
