Forecasts

Niloufar (11/10), Medician Star (16/5), Meet Me In Meraki (6/1), Lightning Bay (8/1), Running Deal (9/1), Tejesueno (22/1), Takeityouremine (66/1)

NILOUFAR ran out a cosy winner at Chelmsford last month and could be up to defying a 9 lb rise with that form working out better than expected. Lightning Bay and handicap-debutant Medician Star head the dangers.
