Forecasts

Jesmond Dawn (15/8), Wichahpi (7/2), Zaman Daar (11/2), Act Of Violence (8/1), Louella (9/1), Miners Gamble (16/1), Yiengaa (16/1), Half Moon Rising (16/1), Socialise (18/1), Chat Up Line (18/1), Cassanos Lad (28/1), Stars Away (125/1)

WICHAHPI did well to maintain her effort (made the running into a headwind) when second at Doncaster last time and she's unlikely to be seriously pressured for the lead here, so she's the one to side with. Jesmond Dawn was quite impressive on his first go at this trip last time, so he's the obvious threat, with Louella not ruled out.
