Forecasts

Star Of Valour (3/1), Chica Bella (10/3), Wilfy (7/2), Handytalk (4/1), Zest Of Zambia (11/1), Air Of York (20/1), Havana Sunset (22/1), Grandstand (25/1), Disey's Edge (28/1), Rock Warbler (33/1), Musaytir (50/1), Jaganory (66/1)

In a race of ifs and buts, WILFY could be worth chancing. He is entitled to come on for his Kempton reappearance earlier this month and is now 1 lb below the mark off which he opened his account at Sandown last summer. Handytalk needs to bounce back, but that's entirely possible off a reduced mark and with Oisin Murphy booked. Zest of Zambia also has claims, along with Chica Bella.
