Forecasts

Scylla (7/2), Russian Rumour (4/1), Clever Relation (4/1), Liberated Lad (5/1), Can Can Girl (6/1), Easter Icon (7/1), Sycamore Gap (20/1)

The lightly-raced SCYLLA was better than she could show when last seen at Wolverhampton in December and appeals as the type who could have more to offer over this sort of trip, so earns the vote. Last-time-out scorer Liberated Lad is feared most ahead of Russian Rumour, who is capable of running well fresh.
