Forecasts

Broken Quest (5/2), Blottos (3/1), Elusive Theatre (5/1), One For Harry (6/1), Captain Redbeard (7/1), Verona Opera (12/1), Mirsaale (12/1), Becky The Thatcher (20/1)

Decent prize money up for grabs so no surprise to see a competitive line-up. One For Harry is not out of it despite his big weight and Mirsaale may do better if rain stays away. Becky The Thatcher and the stable companions Elusive Theatre and Verona Opera have fair claims, but the two most likely sorts are the progressive Broken Quest and BLOTTOS. The latter looks the more feasibly handicapped and can continue his winning run.
