Forecasts

Cape Fear (5/6), First Officer (5/1), Bintabuha (5/1), Wonder (5/1), Parisian Scholar (11/2), Melek Alreeh (14/1)

None of these can be ruled out but Jane Chapple-Hyam has her string in fine nick and C&D winner FIRST OFFICER can build on a promising Yarmouth second and add to the tally here. Recent Thirsk scorer Parisian Scholar rates a big threat though, while both Melek Alreeh and Cape Fear also need factoring in.
