Forecasts

Araifjan (7/2), Lynns Boy (4/1), One Hart (4/1), Spanish Angel (13/2), Astrophysics (7/1), Nordic Glory (9/1), Sir Benedict (10/1), Frisky (20/1), Josies Kid (20/1), Red Walls (22/1), Gustav Graves (22/1)

LYNNS BOY bolted up the last time he ran off a mark of 65 so it would be no surprise to see him stage a revival, particularly if strong in the market. The drop back to 5f may help One Hart the way he's travelled lately and he heads the dangers along with Astrophysics and Spanish Angel.
