Forecasts

Asmund (5/2), Strongbowe (16/5), Late Arrival (10/3), Safran (4/1), Athollblair Boy (9/1), Harry Love (12/1), Custodian (125/1)

SAFRAN looks to be building up to something and is fancied to make light of top weight under Sean Kirrane. Strongbowe took a step back in the right direction at Thirsk last time and is well capable off this mark, while Asmund finds winning difficult but has consistently been in the money this year and can play a prominent role again.
