Forecasts

Caldwell (5/4), Murau (2/1), Maketh Believeth (11/2), Catbird Seat (13/2), Sophar Sogood (9/1), Blazon (18/1), Oi The Clubb Oi's (20/1), Yauthym (28/1), Tigerten (33/1), Keep It Brief (40/1)

MURAU shaped for a long way as if still ahead of his mark when going close at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and can quickly resume winning ways over a trip he's bred to stay. Yauthym is potentially on a good mark judged on her hurdles form so is feared most ahead of Catbird Seat.
