Forecasts

Earls (7/2), Rough Diamond (9/2), Fastar (6/1), Spanish Tenor (10/1), Dairerin (10/1), Is That Love (10/1), Scarlet Dancer (10/1), Blind Beggar (11/1), Affable (11/1), Verhoyen (12/1), Coumshingaun (16/1), Adnaan (40/1), Let's Fly Again (50/1), Benavente (66/1)

Course winner EARLS arrives on an upward curve so is taken to defy another 3 lb rise and rack up a four-timer at the chief expense of C&D scorer Rough Diamond. Affable and Fastar are two others with winning form over this C&D and they need factoring in too in a very open handicap.
