Forecasts

Le Patriote (2/1), Clondaw Castle (7/2), Litterale Ci (5/1), Huntsman Son (8/1), Dino Velvet (9/1), Our Merlin (10/1), Viserion (12/1), Remiluc (20/1), Zaidiyn (20/1), Eddiemaurice (25/1), Robin Of Locksley (33/1), Birch Hill (66/1)

Verdict

LITTERALE CI may be able to follow up her Ludlow win last time with Barry Geraghty taking over in the saddle and the form of that win has received a boost since. It's not ideal that Our Merlin has gone up 4lb for not winning but he's capable of giving another good account, particularly if he settles better in the early stages. Trainer Chris Gordon is in excellent form and Remiluc is a relaint type who may be able to hang on for a place.
