Forecasts

Mischief Star (11/10), Inflection Point (4/1), Guessthebill (6/1), Tai Sing Yeh (17/2), Tammany Hall (12/1), Salt Whistle Bay (14/1), Tawaazon (16/1), War Hero (16/1), Eleuthera (28/1), Wait A Little (40/1), Desert Wave (66/1), Forever My Girl (125/1), Hastily (250/1)

MISCHIEF STAR won a couple of these last month. He ran perfectly well back in a handicap last week and looks the one to beat with his sights lowered again. Tai Sing Yeh goes in search of a hat-trick after 2 handicap wins this spring and is feared most. Johnny Murtagh's Guessthebill has struggled in handicaps this year but should find life easier dropped to a claimer.
