Forecasts

Bang On The Bell (5/2), Arlecchino's Gift (5/2), Music Banner (10/3), Man On A Mission (7/2), Namjong Boys (17/2), Lincoln Dream (12/1), Boadicea Belle (14/1), Beloved Of All (16/1), Jaas Yard (18/1), Maradenn (150/1)

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT pounced from off a strong pace when scoring decisively at Wolverhampton last month and should get a similar set-up here, so he's taken to follow up after a 5 lb rise. Bang On The Bell and Magic Banner also make the shortlist.
