Forecasts

Volos (6/5), Stylish Whispa (9/2), Deacs Delight (6/1), Wynter Wildes (6/1), Mountbatten (9/1), Noble Mark (9/1), Autumn Festival (9/1), Decorated Doll (20/1), Lethal Touch (28/1), Cartridge (40/1), Connie's Rose (100/1), Poweredbylightning (200/1)

VOLOS showed fair form despite his high draw when fifth at Kempton last time so is fancied to take a step forward now and open his account at the chief expense of Wynter Wildes, who hinted at better to come when fifth at Southwell last week. Stylish Whispa also needs considering on the back of her encouraging debut second at Wolverhampton.
