Forecasts

Soyounique (2/1), Clegane (4/1), Lofty (15/2), Street Poet (8/1), Blausee (8/1), Puchita (14/1), Flight Command (16/1), Blame Culture (16/1), Motawaafeq (20/1), Turquoise Kingdom (22/1), Fieldsman (25/1), Poet's Magic (25/1)

Richard Kingscote is back in the plate on CLEGANE for the first time since her Lingfield success in March and she's selected to resume winning ways back on AW. Soyounique ran well enough at Lingfield last time to suggest he's still on a good mark so he looks the main threat. Turquoise Kingdom could have a say if reacting well to blinkers, while Blausee needs a betting check under William Buick.
