Forecasts

Spirit Of Ash (7/2), Super Stars (7/2), Carlton (5/1), Marcello Si (15/2), Great Colaci (8/1), Owens Lad (17/2), Sociologist (10/1), Heatherdown Hero (11/1), Lochnaver (14/1), Foshan (16/1), Sarkha (25/1), Das Kapital (66/1)

The suggestion is LOCHNAVER, who caught the eye finishing with running left at Wolverhampton last month. Spirit of Ash has an excellent course record and seems likely to bounce back from a below-par effort, while Super Stars is another to consider.
