Forecasts

Merchants Arch (5/4), Tam Lin (16/5), Endless Dawn (9/2), Elvetham (11/2), Charanda (11/1), Weegeebear (22/1), Dowth (33/1), Clarabell (50/1)

MERCHANTS ARCH took a step foward when runner-up over C&D recently and is fancied to go one better now and get off the mark at the chief expense of handily-weighted Tam Lin. Endless Dawn and Charanda can both have a say too in this open handicap.
