Forecasts

Rooful (3/1), Kath's Toyboy (10/3), Hagia Sophia (9/2), Youllovemewheniwin (5/1), Epeius (12/1), Ower Starlight (12/1), Global Acclamation (16/1), Glen Rosa (16/1), Wiff Waff (18/1), Stella's Charlie (33/1), Darke Horse (125/1)

A chance is taken on YOULLOVEMEWHENIWIN as he's come down to a mark he really ought to be capable of winning from. Kath's Toyboy was in front of the selection at Lingfield last time and rates an obvious threat. Hagia Sophia also makes the shortlist.
