Forecasts

Scorchio (4/6), Mary Shoelaces (9/2), Milliethemollie (5/1), Tarsus (7/1), Signor Ferrari (17/2), Charles Atlas (18/1), Dabirsim Flyer (33/1), Stopitnowjulia (50/1)

SCORCHIO has taken really well to this surface in recent weeks and looks good for another win. Mary Shoelaces ran well behind the selection over C&D on her latest start and is second choice ahead of Andrew Slattery handicap newcomer Tarsus.
