Forecasts
Mereside Madness (6/4), Tasever (15/8), Streak Lightning (13/2), Havana Prince (10/1), Bowman (11/1), Bobby Joe Leg (14/1)
Four of these contested the race in which MERESIDE MADNESS notched his third C&D victory earlier this month, and he travelled powerfully through the race in the style of a horse who might be capable of winning again. Tasever chased him home that day and may have to settle for second despite a pull at the weights, while Streak Lightning is better than he showed on that occasion.
