Forecasts

Ransom (4/1), Chavajod (4/1), Barbapapa (9/2), Not Forgotten (11/2), Free Solo (11/2), Exquisite Acclaim (13/2), Hightimeyouwon (13/2), Higher Kingdom (11/1), Brains (11/1), Comfort Line (20/1), Marks Bear (28/1), Pillar Of Hope (50/1), Dukeman (50/1), Wayne R Walker (100/1)

HIGHTIMEYOUWON finished well when runner-up to Chavajod over C&D 3 weeks ago and he's worth a chance to turn the form around despite a tricky draw in 14. Excquisite Acclaim and Free Solo, who also dominated the finish here last time, are also worthy of consideration.
