Forecasts

Wayfinder (85/40), Secret Reprieve (9/2), Southfield Harvest (9/2), Farinet (5/1), Caribean Boy (17/2), Secret Investor (14/1), Time To Get Up (14/1), Grumpy Charley (16/1), Elegant Escape (20/1), Nearly Perfect (20/1), Bennys King (40/1), Grand Mogul (66/1)

Most of these have questions to answer so the thriving WAYFINDER is taken to complete a C&D 4-timer. Secret Reprieve has raced only 3 times since winning the Welsh National off this mark almost 2 years ago, but he likely needed his comeback run so should fare better here, while the market should reveal expectations for the classy Secret Investor who is returning after a long absence.
