Forecasts

Solar Screen (9/4), Arctic Fox (6/1), Teescomponentsfly (6/1), Contrebasse (6/1), Nakeeta (8/1), Stonific (8/1), Cogital (9/1), Justified (10/1), Jamil (40/1), Iconic Belle (66/1)

ARCTIC FOX came there to win her race at York last time before stretched by the longer trip and can make amends over this shorter distance off 1 lb lower. Solar Screen was beaten only a progressive one at Salisbury and can go well again, while Stonific picked up a valuable prize over hurdles last month.
