Forecasts

Al Muqdad (4/1), Finbar's Lad (4/1), Bell Shot (9/2), Cruyff Turn (8/1), Yaaser (8/1), Challet (10/1), Craven (14/1), How Impressive (16/1), Animate (18/1), Patontheback (20/1), Danzan (20/1), Kats Bob (50/1)

AL MUQDAD is enjoying an excellent season and fancied to bag a fifth success having not been seent to best effect when a good fourth at Ripon last time. Finbar's Lad is next on the list on the back of his solid Haydock third, with Bell Shot and Craven in the mix too.
