Forecasts

Light N Strike (7/4), Heltenham (2/1), Yes Indeed (3/1), Bourbali (10/3), Excello (4/1), Mayhem Mya (6/1), Hang In There (9/1), Spyglass Hill (28/1)

It could be worth siding with EXCELLO, who was still in with a chance when hitting the second-last in the valuable Topham at the big Aintree meeting last month and he's on an attractive mark. Heltenham is feared greatly on the back of his facile Perth success and cases can also be made for Light N Strike and the hat-trick seeking Yes Indeed.
