Forecasts

Corolla Point (3/1), Pixie Diva (7/2), Vince L'Amour (13/2), Secret Mistral (8/1), Copper Knight (8/1), Speeding Bullet (11/1), Bayraat (12/1), Sevensees (12/1), Educating Rita (12/1), Solid Bond (28/1), Jacquelina (28/1), Spoof (33/1), Illusionist (33/1), Ecclesiastical (66/1)

This is wide open but the verdict goes to SECRET MISTRAL who can boast a C&D victory this year and wasn't seen to ideal effect here last time out. Pixie Diva is feared most on the back of a good second at Newcastle, with Vince L'Amour, Spoof and Copper Knight all in the picture too.
