Forecasts

Brazen Rascal (7/2), Bandello (11/2), Korroor (11/2), Starshot (11/2), Filey Beach (7/1), Desert Dream (8/1), Blue Jay Way (10/1), Martin's Brig (11/1), Twilight Jazz (12/1), Unthinkable (40/1), Hallucinate (40/1), Coverbridge (50/1), Princess Vivi (80/1), Bring Her Home (100/1)

Last year's winner DESERT DREAM looks primed for another bold bid in this race after his back-to-form second last time. Martin's Brig had an excuse at Newcastle last time and is second choice ahead of Starshot and last month's Ffos Las runner-up Bandello.
