Forecasts

Morty (11/4), Lucky Beggar (3/1), Fossos (3/1), Dandy's Max (9/1), Star Citizen (12/1), Cuppacoco (14/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (20/1), Newgate Angel (28/1), Mutawaffer (28/1), King Crimson (50/1), Tilsworth Rose (66/1), Mightaswellsmile (80/1), Trulove (150/1)

FOSSOS is still relatively unexposed and, having improved to score narrowly at Redcar 16 days ago, he's worth a chance to follow up in a race where plenty have questions to answer. Morty would be an obvious threat if turned out again after his win at Ripon on Monday. Cuppacoco also warrants consideration despite a tame run latest.
