Forecasts

Zucayan (7/2), Mr Zee (9/2), Taritino (5/1), John Betjeman (15/2), Bigz Belief (8/1), Jim De Sarti (9/1), Begin The Luck (9/1), Bruce Gobbler (14/1), Prince Rhinegold (16/1), Opticality (22/1), Force De Frap (33/1), Pate Mollee (40/1), Janespriceless (66/1), Us And Them (100/1)

The pick of several plausible candidates could prove to be ZUCAYAN, who has shown himself to be in good nick by finishing third in handicaps here and at Ludlow since returning to action last month. Taritino left the impression that he's getting the hang of things in this sphere over C&D recently and will be a threat if able to build on that. A reproduction of John Betjeman's latest effort will see him competitive, too, while Begin The Luck, Jim De Sarti and Mr Zee all make each-way appeal.
