Forecasts

Billy Dylan (9/4), Marnie James (5/2), Lomu (3/1), Desert Ace (4/1), Foxtrot Knight (9/2), Economic Crisis (7/1)

If Economic Crisis and DESERT ACE go head-to-head from the start here the pair may take some pegging back with the May Beverley winner coming out on top in the closing stages. Runner up at Ayr last time out Lomu and the Ruth Carr-trained Foxtrot Knight can contest for the remaining place.
