Forecasts

Rainbow Mirage (11/4), Major Valentine (3/1), Sarah's Verse (4/1), Vape (5/1), Peachey Carnehan (11/1), Hooray Henry (11/1), Swissal (12/1), Tawaafoq (22/1), Glamorous Crescent (25/1), Company Minx (25/1), Iconic Knight (33/1), Jaganory (125/1)

MAJOR VALENTINE did well to score convincingly having gone off hard at Windsor 11 days ago and, as a 5-time C&D winner who is still well treated under a penalty, he makes plenty of appeal in the follow-up bid. Fellow last-time-out winner Rainbow Mirage is another one to note, as is the selection's stablemate Swissal.
