Forecasts

Kitty's Light (7/4), No Cruise Yet (11/2), In Rem (15/2), Bushypark (8/1), Houston Texas (17/2), The Galloping Bear (10/1), Rath An Iuir (14/1), Sam's Adventure (14/1), Bavington Bob (14/1), Amateur (18/1), Eva's Oskar (20/1), Young Bull (20/1), Shanty Alley (25/1), Mighty Thunder (33/1), One More Fleurie (50/1)

Christian Williams took this prestigious event 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with KITTY'S LIGHT who came in a fine second in the Scottish National last spring and can race off an 11 lb lower mark here having not been at his best this term kept to around 3m. The likeable No Cruise Yet could take a step forward over this marathon trip and is feared most despite being 2 lb out of the handicap, with the in-form pair of In Rem and Bushypark completing the shortlist.
