Forecasts

It's Good To Laugh (6/4), Miranda (3/1), Alpine Stroll (9/2), Golden Flame (13/2), Prince Imperial (17/2), Coeur Blimey (22/1)

ALPINE STROLL enhanced his good record here when third in a big field over C&D 4 weeks ago and will find this less competitive off the same mark. Miranda looked as good as ever over hurdles in the summer so could have more to offer back in this sphere.
