Forecasts

Seprani (11/4), Holy Tiber (7/2), Tawaafoq (4/1), Harbour Point (5/1), Delagate The Lady (6/1), Awsaaf (13/2), Cool Strutter (7/1), Kraka (15/2), Fard (17/2), Bequest (18/1)

SEPRANI's losing run is a concern but she has been threatening to come good from her much-reduced mark, noted doing good late work from an unpromising position on the AW here 3 weeks ago. She gets the narrow vote, with recent Windsor scorer Cool Strutter and Delagate The Lady a couple of others to consider in an open-looking handicap.
