Forecasts

Jean Danjou (9/4), Croeso Cymraeg (3/1), Fast Steps (9/2), Shamekh (11/2), In The Breeze (6/1), Richard P Smith (11/1)

A case can be made for most of these but CROESO CYMRAEG made a promising return when runner-up at Leicester and can go one better now off an easing mark. James Ferguson's new recruit Shamekh is feared most despite having an absence to overcome with In The Breeze and Jean Danjou two more to consider.
