Forecasts
Acting Lass (7/4), Guitar Pete (4/1), Fortunate George (9/2), Kilcrea Vale (5/1), Minella Daddy (6/1), Shantou Flyer (6/1), Forest Des Aigles (10/1), Tenor Nivernais (10/1), Robinshill (16/1)
The progressive Forest Des Aigles would be of considerable interest if taking part, but his preference is for a race at Haydock and, in his anticipated absence, the choice is ROBINSHILL, who is similarly progressive and may have some juice left in his handicap mark. Acting Lass is greatly feared despite this being by far his stiffest task, while the other dangers are headed by Shantou Flyer and Guitar Pete.
