Forecasts

Meadram (3/1), Jenson Benson (3/1), Edvard Grieg (9/2), Diffident Spirit (7/1), Saved Lizzie (15/2), Mr Jetman (10/1), Royal Observatory (14/1), Reel Power (16/1), Star Of St James (18/1), Mirabello Bay (28/1), Dan Dee Prince (28/1), First Dynasty (28/1), Reverberation (33/1), Luna Magic (33/1), Cosmic View (33/1), Morindoo (66/1)

DIFFIDENT SPIRIT is on a lower AW mark and shaped better than the result (not clear run) when fifth at Wolverhampton last time, so he gets the tentative vote in an open-looking contest. Last-time-out C&D winner Meadram is a player along with Saved Lizzie.
