Forecasts

Kayfast Warrior (3/1), Don't Joke (5/1), Socru (5/1), Aiden's Reward (13/2), Treaty Of Dingle (7/1), Bright Apparition (8/1), Esticky End (10/1), Sovereign Moon (12/1), Curfewed (12/1), Odd Socks Havana (14/1), Desert Palms (22/1), Arceus (22/1), Word Of Honour (25/1), Cammy (40/1), Fliss Floss (50/1), Miss Bobcat (125/1)

KAYFAST WARRIOR has a much more solid recent record than the rest of these and it's worth taking a chance that he can translate his AW form to the grass. Esticky End is much better draw here than he was at Wetherby recently and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Ruth Carr's Don't Joke.
