Forecasts

Kitten Gloves (2/1), Okami (10/3), Never This Way (7/2), Nuthatch (9/2), Poetic Jack (6/1), Revolucion (13/2), Sabah Al Ward (12/1)

C&D winner NUTHATCH found further improvement when runner-up at Goodwood last month and makes fair appeal off the same mark here. Okami and Kitten Gloves should also go well.
