Forecasts

Tuscan (2/1), Mythical Dancer (9/4), Sharvara (3/1), Hilts (14/1), One More Try (16/1), Billyb (25/1), Roudemental (28/1), Purple Ice (28/1), Master Ellis (28/1), The Grey Wolf (150/1), Hurt You Never (150/1)

MYTHICAL DANCER takes the eye on debut for powerful connections and can take advantage of the 7 lb he receives from penalised-winner Tuscan. Sharvara is well bred and can be expected to step up quite a bit on what he showed on his York debut.
