Forecasts

Cresta Cat (7/2), Laura Bay (4/1), Tipsy Tiger (11/2), Big Bear Hug (13/2), Croeso Cymraeg (13/2), Narragansett (9/1), Diffident Spirit (11/1), Charming Whisper (16/1), Lunar Jet (20/1), Brodie's Boy (25/1), Throne Hall (50/1)

CRESTA CAT is enjoying an excellent season and fancied to bag win number four under a penalty for his easy recent Leicester victory. Croeso Cymraeg heads the list of dangers on the back of his stylish Doncaster success with Narragansett, Big Bear Hug and Laura Bay also in the picture. Lunar Jet completes the shortlist.
