Forecasts

Yasmin From York (11/4), Red Force One (4/1), Bonne Vitesse (9/2), Gold Ring (9/2), Hellenista (8/1), Sociologist (10/1), Nataleena (11/1), Taxmeifyoucan (25/1), Gift Of Raaj (28/1), Topkapi Star (33/1), Lucarnip (150/1)

NATALEENA signalled she's ready to go close again when fourth at Southwell so is fancied to make light of her absence and capitalise on a reduced mark. Yasmin From York is feared most on the back of her recent course victory, with Hellenista another who can have a say now reverted in trip.
