Forecasts

Kudbegood (5/2), Ellabella (7/2), Manwal (15/2), Higher Kingdom (17/2), French Rescue (17/2), Khattaat (10/1), Reverberation (11/1), Royal Tribute (12/1), Snow Lion (14/1), Jered Maddox (20/1), Macaban City (20/1), Cisne (25/1), Gormanston (25/1), Padjoy (28/1), Qaabil (33/1), Navorrosse (33/1), Jackandthefox (40/1)

KUDBEGOOD capitalised on a falling mark over C&D last time, the return to polytrack clearly in his favour, and he remains well treated on old form, so there's a good chance he can follow up. Ellabella could play a part if she can get across from a wide draw and recent claiming winner Royal Tribute warrants a mention.
