Forecasts

Drouthy Neebor (16/5), New York Bay (10/3), Leon Trotsky (4/1), Forglen (5/1), Corsican Caper (17/2), Queensland Boy (10/1), Man Of Riddles (18/1), Roi De Baviere (22/1), Chef De Troupe (28/1), Adrian (33/1), Triple Nickle (50/1), Abstract (66/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this looks a good opportunity for Hughie Morrison's DROUTHY NEEBOR to build on his good reappearance Chelmsford second and get off the mark. In-form duo Leon Trotsky and Man of Riddles appeal as the main dangers and can chase him home in that order.
