Forecasts

Asmund (2/1), Daniel Deronda (10/3), Aliento (5/1), Millions (6/1), Thrave (9/1), Saunton (12/1), River Wharfe (14/1)

ALIENTO ran up to her best when runner-up at Catterick last week, despite conceding first run, so she's one to be interested in from the same mark. Millions and Daniel Deronda head the opposition.
