Forecasts

Silvestris (11/8), Illustrator (5/2), Super Over (7/2), Night Force (13/2), Swing Low (14/1), Regimento (50/1), Batocchi (66/1), Loch Long (150/1)

SILVESTRIS is a model of consistency and can follow up his Chelmsford victory here. Illustrator has a 7 lb pull in the weights from Chelmsford and shouldn't be far away. Swing Low and Super Over both make appeal on debut for top yards.
