Forecasts

Hinitsa Bay (13/8), Monks Mead (4/1), Polar Rebel (5/1), Queen Sansa (11/2), Crownthorpe (8/1), Adace (14/1), Shades Of May (18/1), Pure Imagination (22/1), Iftikhaar (40/1), A Day In Bloom (50/1), C'est Encore (125/1)

A few with chances but HINITSA BAY rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his good Yarmouth second so edges the vote from C&D scorer Monks Mead and recent runner-up here Polar Rebel. Fellow C&D winner Crownthorpe completes the shortlist.
