Forecasts

Shantou Express (6/4), Cawthorne Lad (3/1), Paris Dixie (7/2), Presenting Yeats (4/1), Butler's Brief (5/1)

Verdict

SHANTOU EXPRESS fared a bit better when ninth at Haydock 3 weeks ago and he's now 5 lb lower than when winning this race last year, so he's worth chancing. Presenting Yeats should give his running despite a fall 10 days ago and Paris Dixie can make her presence felt if ready to go after 6 months off.
