Forecasts

I Am Max (7/2), Sayva (13/2), Nordic Tiger (7/1), Ashington (17/2), Ridin Solo (11/1), Starlyte (12/1), Foster's Fortune (12/1), The Jeweller's Pet (12/1), Ballyfort (14/1), Singapore Trip (14/1), Imperial Data (16/1), Harper Valley (18/1), Galahad Threepwood (25/1), Achnamara (25/1), Salsada (28/1), Rafferty's Return (40/1)

This is wide open but the vote goes to Sandy Thomson's low-mileage I AM MAX, who took a step forward when runner-up at Haydock last time and can continue his progress after another break here. Sayva is another improving sort and he heads the list of dangers, although Ballyfort, Achnamara, Ridin Solo and The Jeweller's Pet also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
