Forecasts

Laser Focus (6/4), Bletchley Storm (9/4), Sisterandbrother (11/2), Showy (7/1), Abu Royal (8/1), Sonning (9/1), Baile Locha Riach (9/1), Carey Street (14/1), Princess Niyla (20/1), Fillyfudge (20/1), Mc'ted (25/1), The Pug (33/1), Lillistar (50/1)

LASER FOCUS was only denied by another one that's going the right way when second at Wetherby 8 days ago and he's fancied to get back to winning ways. Last-time-out winners Sisterandbrother and Bletchley Storm look the main dangers.
