Forecasts

King Francis (6/4), Robert Walpole (2/1), The City's Phantom (7/2), Silver Gunn (8/1), Oh It's Saucepot (9/1), Mawkeb (12/1)

Last year's 1-2 THE CITY'S PHANTOM and Oh It's Saucepot look well placed to take a prominent role again, with Richard Spencer's charge fancied to make it 3 years in a row he has a successful return at Yarmouth. King Francis bolted up at Kempton after a long absence and is an obvious threat if backing that up on turf.
