Forecasts

Tinkerstar (3/1), Shamlaan (4/1), Hot Diggity Dog (9/2), Jusumi (6/1), Bungley (15/2), Mehdinah (8/1), Shear Gold (12/1), Offering (20/1), Joyous Days (33/1)

TINKERSTAR doesn't look especially progressive, but he showed enough when third off a 1 lb higher mark on his recent nursery debut at Hamilton to suggest that a race of this nature will be within his grasp. The drop back to the minimum trip and fitting of cheekpieces are potentially positive factors. Bungley is next on the list ahead of Jusumi and Mehdinah.
