Forecasts

Fridtjof Nansen (5/2), Shawaf (9/2), Aloysius Lilius (11/2), Too Hard To Hold (7/1), Bluepower (17/2), Tommy Taylor (9/1), That's Mad (14/1), Kuwait Direction (20/1), Stanhope (25/1), Limit Long (25/1), Togoville (33/1), Musical Rue (33/1), Illetas (40/1), Lord Mczie (80/1), Drummond Warrior (100/1)

FRIDTJOF NANSEN was a good second from a wide draw over 7f here last time and can go well again off the same mark. Last-time-out winners Kuwait Direction and Shawaf head the dangers.
