Forecasts

River Wharfe (6/4), Spirit Of Rowdown (7/2), May Night (4/1), Astapor (9/2), High Applause (10/1), Voodoo Whodoo (12/1), Mia Mia (16/1), Jaffathegaffa (16/1), Gems Jewel (16/1), Bama Lama (16/1), Eyes (18/1), Livia The Empress (28/1), Sheila O'Shea (40/1), Friday (100/1)

Though she's had more bites at the cherry than these rivals, ASTAPOR looks the way to go on the back of decent efforts over this C&D and at Chepstow the last twice. River Wharfe hasn't shown a great deal in 3 starts to date, but he may be seen in a better light now that he goes down the nursery route. Bama Lama, Jaffathegaffa and Spirit of Rowdown are all live each-way contenders.
