Forecasts

Rajeteriat (7/4), Redorange (5/1), Siegen (6/1), Art Market (6/1), Backspin (8/1), Top Star (10/1), Hucklesbrook (11/1), Skellig Isle (22/1), Mr Cool (40/1), Candy (50/1), Rage Of Thunder (100/1), Chasing Gold (200/1)

The betting should reveal plenty here but RAJETERIAT possesses the best form on offer and still looked green when third at Beverley last time so gets the vote. Tom Ward's Mohaather filly Skellig Isle is bred to be above-average so could emerge as the main danger ahead of Siegen, Hucklesbrook and Backspin.
