Forecasts

Discomatic (7/4), Yanifer (15/8), Marselan (13/2), River Wharfe (15/2), Sense Of Humour (9/1), Tellmeyourstory (14/1)

The vote goes to DISCOMATIC, who proved that he handles turf when a close third at Salisbury last month and his mark has been left untouched. Yanifer has been in fine form this year and will be a big threat if going to post. However, assuming he takes up his engagement at Bath on Sunday, Sense of Humour and River Wharfe may emerge as the main dangers.
