Forecasts

Lofty (3/1), Starter For Ten (4/1), Ginato (9/2), Toolmaker (6/1), Musahaba (7/1), Readman (10/1), Trevie Fountain (14/1), Nat Love (18/1), Bois De Norton (18/1), Spartakos (25/1), Thowq (28/1), Mehraki Star (66/1), Bluetech (80/1), No Civil Justice (150/1)

READMAN hasn't lived up to his £150,000 yearling price yet but he's still lightly raced and has some form on tapeta. He shaped as though this trip would suit better at Wolverhampton last month and he could take a step forward here. Ginato has to be taken seriously in his bid to follow up his Ripon victory. Nat Love drops in class and his yard has been amongst the winners recently.
