Forecasts

Shearer (3/1), Neon Moon (3/1), Top Of The Bill (9/2), Elham Valley (6/1), Kuraka (8/1), Stratton Oakmont (9/1), Petit Palais (22/1), The Knot Is Tied (25/1), Stringtoyourbow (33/1)

A chance is taken on ELHAM VALLEY, who appears to be working his way back to form judged on his recent Warwick effort. This step up in trip could be a good move and he's now 12 lb lower than when third in last season's Fred Winter. Shearer heads a rather long list of dangers, which also includes handicap-debutant Top of The Bill, recent Plumpton winner Neon Moon and Stratton Oakmont.
