Forecasts

Manuha (16/5), Hernan Cortes (5/1), Lavender Beauty (5/1), Entrancement (6/1), Beautiful Star (6/1), Villemacho (8/1), Love Fifteen (8/1), Orchestra (10/1), Starmas (14/1), Mickey Donovan (14/1), So Chic (16/1), Ravigill (40/1)

Having been well-backed for his nursery debut MANUHA did plenty wrong at Yarmouth but still managed to finish runner-up, so he can go one better this time having been gelded since. Hernan Cortes improved again when second on his handicap bow last month and is feared most, ahead of Entrancement.
