Forecasts

Prince Cleni (11/4), First Man (3/1), Miss Antipova (4/1), Miss Wachit (6/1), Shar Whats Therush (8/1), Lough Salt (12/1), King Otis (12/1), Master Mead (16/1), Auld Sod (18/1), Touch Tight (22/1), Policy Breaker (33/1)

FIRST MAN showed the benefit of wind surgery when a recent fourth over C&D and can capitalise on a 6 lb lower mark now at the chief expense of in-form maiden Miss Antipova. Uttoxeter runner-up Prince Cleni and veteran Lough Salt complete the shortlist.
