Forecasts

Jered Maddox (9/4), Pillar (9/2), Keepthebestsideout (6/1), Teddy Boy (7/1), Great Midge (9/1), Bay Of Skaill (10/1), Manhattan Dandy (10/1), Motbeq (14/1), Sabrina Fairchild (14/1), Bellick (16/1), Mutiny (16/1), Master Spy (28/1), Ever Rock (33/1), Kristall Eye (50/1), Bushtucker Trial (50/1), Northern Surprise (66/1), Iron Ryan (150/1)

Despite knocking on the door of late, JERED MADDOX gets a handy 2 lb ease in the weights so his consistency may well be rewarded. Pillar beat the selection last time and won't go down without a fight despite these worse terms, with Keepthebestsideout also of interest.
