Forecasts

Blindedbythelights (5/2), Trouville (7/2), Anzac Day (7/2), Road To Wembley (6/1), Mr Hampstead (8/1), Surrey Fire (8/1), Vino Victrix (10/1), Cock And Bull (14/1), Hydroplane (14/1), It's Tim (18/1), Sax Appeal (22/1), Beauld As Brass (25/1), No More Bolero (33/1)

Plenty with claims here, including TROUVILLE, who made an encouraging return to action at this course last month and remains relatively unexposed. He gets the nod. Blindedbythelights and Hydroplane head the list of dangers.
