Forecasts

Ehrmann (6/5), Soul Seeker (4/1), Isle Of Lismore (5/1), Pavers Pride (9/1), Canford Bay (10/1), Duke Of Firenze (14/1), Abel Handy (25/1)

EHRMANN was only just denied over C&D earlier in the month and can gain a second victory on just his fifth start here. Proven in the conditions and less exposed than most of his rivals, he looks hard to beat. Soul Seeker is the biggest danger after a series of good results this spring. Pavers Pride makes most appeal of the remainder.
