Forecasts

Born Leader (2/1), Tattenhams (9/2), Mackelly (11/2), Ben Lilly (6/1), Amber Rock (11/1), Artillery (12/1), Seventii (14/1), Becky Sharp (18/1), French Battle (20/1), Scrafton (28/1), Filament Of Gold (40/1), Thomas Hawk (125/1)

TATTENHAMS has improved since stepping up in trip this month, getting off the mark in good style at Hamilton 18 days ago, and looks the one to beat if taking to this surface. Artillery made more of an impact on handicap debut at Bath last time, shaping as if this trip should suit, while Born Leader should be on the premises again if ready to go.
