Forecasts

Tranquil Sea (4/1), La Pinsonniere (11/2), Eagle Fang (6/1), Harbour Lake (6/1), Matty's Getaway (7/1), Serious Chat (9/1), Gold For Alec (12/1), Lord Snootie (12/1), Flying Fortune (12/1), Al Sayah (16/1), Bold Endeavour (18/1), Deep Cave (28/1), Moon D'orange (33/1), Walking On Air (50/1), Sea The Clouds (125/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but Dan Skelton's TRANQUIL SEA scored in convincing style at Plumpton recently and still makes plenty of appeal despite a 7 lb hike. Nicky Henderson's reliable mare La Pinsonniere could prove the chief threat now she steps up to 3m for the first time. Flying Fortune is another to consider in this highly competitive handicap.
