Forecasts

Evergreen And Red (2/1), Leabaland (5/1), Jazz Dreamers (11/2), Chimeric (13/2), Spruce Meadows (15/2), Krypton Gold (9/1), Derry Lad (10/1), Bosca Cheoil (12/1), Aussie Valentine (12/1), Lisabetta (16/1), Anfaass (22/1), Rockview Empress (25/1), Legendre (25/1), Blyton (33/1), Natahoolababy (80/1), Dangeroffizz (125/1), Wand (150/1)

SPRUCE MEADOWS has slipped to a good mark so is taken to build on his eye-catching Down Royal third and get back to winning ways. Both Evergreen And Red and Lisabetta arrive in good order and are fancied to chase home the top weight in that order in a very open handicap.
