Forecasts

Swing To The Stars (15/8), Kodiman (7/2), Lucidity (9/2), Mogwai (5/1), Reflex (8/1), Shalfa (10/1)

A case can be made for all of these but the most persuasive one is for KODIMAN who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Chelmsford City and can gain compensation off an unchanged mark. Swing To The Stars also wasn't seen to best effect when third at Epsom last time and can have a say too, with Mogwai and Shalfa also considered.
