Forecasts

Martinstown (11/8), Cordouan (9/2), Slieve Binnian (5/1), Londoner (6/1), San Andreas (6/1), Inuit (18/1), Mister Mister (20/1), Cold Steel (20/1), Pearl Of Australia (40/1), No Niki No (40/1), Royal Pippen (80/1)

Verdict

MARTINSTOWN is a lightly-raced sort who showed much improved form despite not being seen to best effect when a close third here last week, so he's an appealing candidate from only 2 lb higher in the weights. Cordouan is weighted to reverse C&D form with Slieve Binnian, while San Andreas is another to consider.
