Forecasts

Chosen World (5/2), Come On Linda (4/1), Stand Free (5/1), Hunters Step (15/2), Zealous (12/1), Amor Fati (14/1), Joyful Star (14/1), Martin's Brig (16/1), Maykir (16/1), My Brother Mike (18/1), Newmarket Warrior (22/1), Mac Mccarthy (22/1), Sezina (33/1), Highlight Reel (40/1)

CHOSEN WORLD looks set to end his losing run judged on his seconds here the last twice and he makes most appeal despite a 4 lb rise. Come On Linda is feared most ahead of Hunters Step, who had excuses last time. Market support for Sezina would need taking very seriously.
