Forecasts

Flower Of Thunder (9/2), Surrey Princess (11/2), Mr Zee (11/2), Jackamundo (8/1), Balqaa (8/1), For Richard (8/1), Power Of Lazarus (17/2), Lisdarragh (14/1), Central City (16/1), Apache Jewel (25/1), Faithhopeandglory (33/1), Louby Lou (33/1), Dylan's Ruby (40/1)

MR ZEE was a good winner of this last year off 3 lb lower and can go well fresh so could be the answer on return. Balqaa and Flower of Thunder head the dangers.
