Forecasts

Musical Mystery (15/8), Yantarni (9/4), Granary Queen (6/1), Believe You Me (8/1), Revolutionise (9/1), King Of Scotia (10/1), Snuggle (10/1), Amathus (11/1), Resonance (18/1), Bold Suitor (50/1)

MUSICAL MYSTERY upped his game to score at Brighton last time and, in a thin race, he's capable of defying a penalty if he can take another step forward. Yantarni is a danger and another solid showing is expected from Snuggle.
