Forecasts

Specialist View (9/4), Van Zant (5/2), Masham Moor (7/2), Kodebreaker (9/2), Eva Rosie (5/1), Rainbow Sign (20/1), Stand Free (22/1), Ower Starlight (28/1), Motasaleeta (100/1), Streetstorm (200/1)

VAN ZANT did well in the circumstances (fared best of those ridden close to a strong pace) when pipped by Masham Moor over C&D earlier in the month and is taken to turn the tables on his old rival. Jamie Spencer is an interesting booking for Eva Rosie and she also makes the shortlist.
