Forecasts

Star Of Epsom (15/8), Yorktown (10/3), Harbour Project (4/1), Placated (5/1), Turn Of Phrase (12/1), Miss Sligo (14/1), Rockinovertheworld (16/1), Lightning Blue (25/1), Lynchpin (33/1), Blue Galaxy (50/1), Doyouknowmyuncles (125/1), Sparkling Diamond (200/1)

STAR OF EPSOM has shown enough on her last few starts to suggest a race of this nature is within her compass, so she gets the nod. Placated, Yorktown and Harbour Project are a trio of potential threats.
