Forecasts

Stratum (2/5), Mormon (9/2), Cavallino (11/2), Exchange Rate (16/1), Sean Hogan (16/1), Skol (16/1), Getabay (28/1), History Of Fashion (33/1), Clashabreeda (250/1), Mick Spadoun (300/1)

Useful-hurdler STRATUM isn't an obvious chaser given his size and Flat history, but he made a pleasing enough start over fences when third here last month and this looks a good opportunity for him. Sean Hogan and Mormon can battle for minor honours.
