Forecasts

Tommy Taylor (1/1), Outrun The Storm (9/4), Sir Benedict (5/1), Athollblair Boy (8/1)

TOMMY TAYLOR was useful at one time and has been rejuvenated by this C&D in recent weeks, winning twice. He escapes a penalty for last week's success when having to share the spoils and the hat-trick is very much on. Outrun The Storm is second choice.
