Forecasts

Ustath (3/1), Firsteen (3/1), Qaaraat (11/2), Our Man In Havana (13/2), Sharrabang (17/2), Treasured Company (14/1), Jeans Maite (18/1), Roaring Rory (25/1), Middlescence (28/1), Hide Your Heart (33/1), Darwina (40/1), Pilgrims Pursuit (50/1), Lili Wen Fach (80/1), Youarefullofchat (150/1)

Only a handful make any serious appeal in here, with preference for Roger Fell's USTATH, after having finally taken advantage of a much-reduced mark to score over 5f here 12 days ago. Firsteen is in better heart than recent form figures suggest and can chase the selection home on first start for her new yard, ahead of Our Man In Havana and Sharrabang.
