Forecasts

Crystal Guard (7/2), Quemonda (5/1), Twilight Song (6/1), Wholelotafun (15/2), Light Of Thunder (8/1), Cuban Cigar (9/1), Wow William (12/1), Carp Kid (14/1), Couldn't Could She (16/1), Junoesque (16/1), Star Of Epsom (22/1), Hamaron (25/1), Havana Cabana (25/1), Smokey Malone (28/1), Crystal Carole (40/1)

CUBAN CIGAR scored cosily at Wolverhampton recently and, while he's perhaps slightly better on that surface, he's worth a chance to go in again from the same mark back on turf. Crystal Guard arrives on the up and should pose a threat if he breaks on terms, while the in-form Wholelotafun is also worth considering.
