Forecasts

Arij (3/1), Precision Storm (3/1), Aim For The Stars (7/2), Bronze River (11/2), Asdaa (9/1), Mount Mayon (10/1), Toronto (11/1), Visibility (22/1), Avarice (25/1), Rhubarb Bikini (50/1), Mabre (50/1), Ship Of The Fen (150/1)

TORONTO was well backed on his debut for this yard at Newcastle earlier in the month. He was too free that day and may have come on for that run. His trainer has a good record with similar types and he looks the one to beat. Aim For The Stars is a lightly-raced filly that may prove to be the biggest threat. Arij is consistent and should play a part in the finish too.
