Forecasts

Godot (11/4), Pedley Wood (4/1), Heaven Smart (9/2), Scrum Diddly (9/2), Shot Boii (5/1), James Jet (5/1), School Days Over (11/2), Pearly Island (13/2), Ernest Gray (15/2), Midnight Centurion (15/2)

Cases can be made for several of these, with SCRUM DIDDLY the one who appeals most. He is 2 lb below the mark off which he was a good second in a small-field Ascot handicap on his penultimate start and, with just three runs in this sphere under his belt, he could have more to offer. Pedley Wood made it 2-2 over fences at Taunton and he's a live contender, while Godot, Midnight Centurion and Shot Boii should all have parts to play, too.
