Forecasts

Solanna (11/4), Oriental Art (10/3), Jacks Profit (4/1), Drill To Dream (15/2), Nawar (9/1), How Hard Can It Be (12/1), Ward Castle (14/1), Delvey (18/1), Broad Appeal (22/1), Special Times (40/1), Compere (66/1)

One final chance is given to ORIENTAL ART who potentially has a bit of class for this grade. Jacks Profit is in a good vein of form at present and is feared most ahead of Drill To Dream, who wasn't seen to best effect last time and had been runner-up at this course prior to that.
