Forecasts

Fulfilled (2/1), Travesuras (7/2), Janus (9/2), Anglesey Abbey (15/2), Mc'ted (8/1), Buxted Too (9/1), Flower Of Thunder (11/1), Haku (50/1), Mutalaaqy (50/1), Mummy's Boy (50/1), Waleyfa (66/1), Ship To Shore (80/1)

TRAVESURAS has been progressing well of late, making it 2 wins from his last 4 starts with success at this C&D last month. He can add another victory to his tally, though fellow 3-y-o Fulfilled also arrives here in good form and is feared most. Janus completes the shortlist.
