Forecasts

Point Of Honour (7/4), Bollin Margaret (5/2), By Jove (6/1), Cuba Ruba (13/2), Motahassen (12/1), Ice Canyon (18/1), Silver Desert (22/1), Hajey (40/1), The Rutland Rebel (50/1)

BOLLIN MARGARET arrives in fine form and is bred to appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. She is fancied to resume winning ways. Cuba Ruba and Point of Honour rate the principal dangers.
