Forecasts

Almost You (11/8), Devizes (7/2), Imajorblush (11/2), Enmeshing (7/1), Double Legend (8/1), Three Dragons (9/1), Maazel (25/1), First Voyage (33/1), Henry Croft (40/1), Bay May (50/1), Arlecchino's Arc (50/1), Gibraltarian (50/1), Norwegian Red (50/1), Genuine Approval (66/1), Clarion Lady (100/1), Smith (125/1)

A good opportunity for ALMOST YOU to follow up her January Kempton win for a trainer and jockey who are very much ones to follow. Three Dragons and the hat-trick seeking Devizes are the obvious dangers.
