Forecasts

No Flies On Me (7/4), Silastar (7/2), Kodiac Harbour (4/1), Helian (15/2), He's Our Star (16/1), Bayston Hill (18/1), Mythical Madness (22/1), Militry Decoration (25/1), Breguet Boy (28/1), Sherpa Trail (40/1), Sourire Secret (40/1)

Quite a competitive handicap on paper, with NO FLIES ON ME fancied to strike again. The stewards denied her a C&D hat-trick earlier this month but she's done well here with front-running tactics employed and could be better than this grade. Silastar, Kodiac Harbour and veteran Mythical Madness should also be in the mix.
