Forecasts

Jet Of Dreams (3/1), Bempton Cliffs (7/2), Atlantic Storm (7/2), Mix Of Clover (9/2), Famoso (13/2), Tikkinthebox (7/1), Getaway Jewel (10/1)

ATLANTIC STORM holds an excellent course record and another bold showing looks on the cards after his very good recent second here. Bempton Cliffs has started well in this sphere so should ensure the veteran doesn't have things all his own way though, with Worcester runner-up Jet of Dreams also in the mix.
