Forecasts

Ginger Max (9/2), Ugo Gregory (11/2), Molly Shaw (7/1), Gilt Edge (8/1), Vitare (8/1), Bonus (10/1), Queen Of Burgundy (12/1), Newton Jack (12/1), Spanish Star (14/1), Vardon Flyer (14/1), Quaint (14/1), Case Key (14/1), Bezzas Lad (18/1), Young John (25/1), Kraka (28/1), Harbour Point (33/1)

Lots with chances but MOLLY SHAW is a sprinter still on the up so is taken to defy a 3 lb weight rise and complete a quick hat-trick. Ugo Gregory arrives in good form so this dual C&D winner is feared most, although top-weight Case Key is another who is sure to have a say in a competitive handicap.
