Forecasts

Mercian Prince (11/4), The Tailgater (3/1), Rothman (9/2), Breath Of Blighty (5/1), Bishops Court (6/1), Exitas (12/1), Minella Tweet (20/1), Turban (20/1)

Despite his good strike rate over fences, Bishops Court looks vulnerable off top weight. The Tailgater is feared if able to back up his Doncaster win and Mercian Prince ran better than his finishing position at Aintree last time suggested. Narrow preference, though, is for BREATH OF BLIGHTY, who likes this C&D and comes into this in good heart. Exitas may be a threat if able to stay this longer trip.
