Forecasts

Major Gatsby (5/2), Mutanaaseq (5/1), Liberty Breeze (11/2), Crystal Dawn (11/2), Alyara (8/1), Aviary (12/1), Fai Fai (12/1), Merry Secret (12/1), Swiss Rowe (20/1), Madrinho (28/1), Buachaill (33/1), Macon Belle (33/1)

MUTANAASEQ didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Thirsk last time and is fancied to bounce back in style and bag a fifth success of 2023. Three-time C&D winner Major Gatsby is feared most, although Crystal Dawn and Liberty Breeze need factoring into this open-looking handicap too.
