Forecasts

Pink Jazz (5/2), Merweb (10/3), Stoney Lane (4/1), Beau Geste (9/2), Corndavon Lad (12/1), Golden Cygnet (14/1), Universal Effect (20/1), New Look (33/1), Bankawi (40/1), Mirakuhl (50/1), Sea Ewe (80/1), Born To Reason (80/1)

BEAU GESTE was unlucky to bump into an improver here last time and remains of interest off 1 lb lower. Stoney Lane ran his best race for a while when runner-up off his reduced mark here last month and is another to consider along with Pink Jazz, who responded well to blinkers/tongue strap when winning over further here last week.
