Forecasts

Shabs (5/6), Storm Asset (10/3), Baileys Eminence (7/2), Vive La Reine (13/2), Three Dons (8/1), Twilight Tone (10/1), Safety First (10/1), Arpina (11/1), My Name's Howard (12/1), Isladaay (28/1), The Ormer Gatherer (33/1), Sonny Brown (125/1)

STORM ASSET has won twice already this year yet is still only rated in the low-50s so might be capable of adding to his tally here. Shabs was only narrowly denied on his C&D handicap debut last month and rates a danger under Tom Marquand. Last-time-out Chelmsford scorer Baileys Eminence completes the shortlist.
