Forecasts

The Cider Maker (7/2), Cucklington (4/1), Pink Gin (13/2), Blackmill (13/2), Invicta Lake (8/1), Achille (9/1), Sonoftheking (10/1), Two Hoots (10/1), General Girling (14/1), Goring One (16/1)

Verdict

The Cider Maker and Cucklington give their trainer a strong hand and it would be no surprise to see either prevail. General Girling would have strong claims if in the right mood, but it may be worth taking a chance with PINK GIN, who represents last year's winning stable and has shown enough over C&D to suggest he can win a race of this nature. Sonoftheking looks the best of the rest.
