Forecasts

Shan Blue (5/2), Tea Clipper (5/1), Killer Kane (6/1), Oscar Elite (6/1), Cap Du Nord (15/2), Commodore (10/1), Espoir De Romay (12/1), Grumpy Charley (16/1), Scene Not Herd (16/1), Empire Steel (16/1), Mint Condition (20/1), Wishing And Hoping (25/1), Adrimel (25/1), The Hollow Ginge (25/1), Sam Brown (28/1), Exelerator Express (40/1), Espoir De Teillee (80/1), Didero Vallis (80/1)

A fiercely=competitive handicap but SHAN BLUE has a lot less on his plate than when a well-held sixth in the Ryanair Chase and can capitalise on a very attractive mark back in handicap company. Kempton-scorer Cap du Nord is another weighted to go well for the in-form Christian Williams team, while Ultima-fourth Tea Clipper figures high on the shortlist too.
