Forecasts

Out Of Breath (6/4), Lord Torranaga (9/4), Framley Garth (9/2), Firlinfeu (9/2), Fahad (25/1)

OUT OF BREATH completed the hat-trick in straightforward fashion at Redcar last month and Grant Tuer's charge is taken to stretch his winning run to 4 and defy a 5 lb rise in the weights. The main danger could be Firlinfeu, who has yet to hit form this year but has tumbled in the weights as a result, ahead of Lord Torranaga.
