Forecasts

Ustath (11/4), Catesby (3/1), Q Twenty Boy (9/2), Caleta Sunrise (5/1), Stay Smart (6/1), Twilight Secret (7/1), Tom Tulliver (12/1), Mutabaahy (18/1), Musaytir (33/1)

USTATH is bang in form and could get his own way in front under Jonny Peate, so he takes preference over Q Twenty Boy, who has left the impression lately that his turn isn't far away. Caleta Sunrise also merits consideration.
