Forecasts

Tazaman (9/4), Storm Chaser (5/2), Blistering Barney (10/3), Hellenista (4/1), Lord Caprio (16/1)

TAZAMAN found only a couple of 3-y-os too strong at Newbury last time and this looks a decent opportunity for Mark Loughnane's 5-y-o to land another win. Storm Chaser may give him most to do.
