Forecasts

Artisan Bleu (10/11), Pips Tune (3/1), The Bay Warrior (17/2), Beija Flor (9/1), Tokyo Chic (10/1), Laetoli (28/1), Ghostly (33/1), Mawgan Porth (50/1), The Yellow Mini (125/1)

ARTISAN BLEU is going the right way and is selected to make light of a 5 lb rise for last month's C&D success. Beija Flor and Tokyo Chic both arrive on the back of good runner-up efforts at Kempton and may provide the main opposition.
