Forecasts
Finn Lough (2/1), Illogical Logic (13/2), Prince Cleni (7/1), Scene One (7/1), Exmoor Forest (17/2), Okavango Delta (17/2), Kit's Coty (11/1), Whosmydaddy (12/1), Ladronne (14/1), Mixedwave (20/1), Ballydisco (22/1), Harjo (25/1), Swapped (40/1)
A case can be made for a few of these but SCENE ONE rates the pick of the weights and can gain a first victory of the season at the chief expense of Musselburgh scorer Okavango Delta. Exmoor Forest, Prince Cleni and Whosmydaddy are all worthy of consideration too in this competitive handicap chase.
