Forecasts

Paxos (6/4), Velvet Vista (9/4), Blame Culture (7/1), Frow (15/2), Six Strings (8/1), Young John (25/1), Beepeecee (40/1)

VELVET VISTA looked unlucky not to win from this mark here last week, so she appeals as the most persuasive option now turned out again quickly (due to go up 3 lb). Paxos shaped better than the bare result at Kempton last time and could yet come good.
