Forecasts

Devasboy (5/2), Dashing Donkey (7/2), Dumfries (5/1), Ajrad (15/2), Grand Citadel (17/2), San Francisco Bay (10/1), Shark Two One (11/1), Al Shabab (14/1), Amathus (20/1), Bibendum (20/1), Hawk Jet (28/1), Sunday Belle (33/1), Gherkin (33/1), Honrado (33/1), Fast Flo (40/1), Tilsworth Silver (100/1), Wild Eyed Girl (100/1)

DASHING DONKEY won off a similar mark on turf last summer and might prove the answer to a very open finale on the back of a solid reappearance third on AW. Dumfries, Devasboy and Bibendum complete the shortlist.
