Forecasts

Flower Of Scotland (10/3), The Ferry Master (4/1), Cash To Ash (11/2), All About Joe (15/2), Wake Up Early (12/1), Breaking The Ice (12/1), Cyclop (14/1), Niceandeasy (14/1), Clonguile Way (16/1), Big River (16/1), Donna's Delight (18/1), Buddha Scheme (20/1), Fiveaftermidnight (25/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. Sandy Thomson has an excellent record in this event and his THE FERRY MASTER is worth siding with to build on his reappearance fifth at Ayr over an indadequate trip and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. The less exposed Niceandeasy heads the list of dangers, although last year's winner Big River is another who could have a big say. Wake Up Early and Cash To Ash complete the shortlist.
