Forecasts

Young John (3/1), Red Jasper (9/2), Marvel (5/1), Qaaraat (5/1), Wrath Of Hector (6/1), Scale Force (6/1), Maysong (11/1), Fast Deal (200/1)

MARVEL remains a maiden after 10 starts but he's a largely consistent sort with a decent record fresh so could be worth chancing to make a winning return, with his rider taking 7 lb off. Qaaraat and Young John are a couple of others to consider, along with Maysong.
