Forecasts

Coco Mademoiselle (2/1), Beachcomber (3/1), Striking A Pose (10/3), Tightenourbelts (7/2), Tea Clipper (9/2), Egbert (9/2), Wiseguy (8/1), Bangers And Cash (12/1), Jeremy Pass (28/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but COCO MADEMOISELLE starts life in handicaps on an attractive mark so looks the way to go. Course-winner Striking A Pose rates the main threat to Dan Skelton's progressive sort, with Tightenourbelts, Beachcomber and Wiseguy all in the mix too in this competitive handicap.
