Forecasts

Mighty Gurkha (11/4), Macs Dilemma (4/1), Little Boy Blue (9/2), Newton Jack (5/1), Fangorn (11/2), Gilt Edge (9/1), Painless Potter (22/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but Newbury scorer FANGORN edges the vote given he can race off 1 lb lower than when a good recent third at Yarmouth. Course winner Gilt Edge is greatly feared though, while both Mighty Gurkha and Macs Dilemma need factoring in too.
