Forecasts

Lispendense (8/11), Rightful Mind (13/2), Bowtie (17/2), Yes Des Taillons (10/1), Blueblood (10/1), Lilrob Star (12/1), Babog Mor (20/1), Lady Goliath (22/1), Shumard (33/1), Gekkota (33/1)

YES DES TAILLONS has won a point and Jamie Codd (on that day) is booked for his Rules debut, so he's worth chancing back from an absence in a weak event. Lispendense is the form pick, so he's a big danger if back on his game, while Lilrob Star shouldn't be completely dismissed.
