Youarenotforgiven (6/4), Valkyrian (16/5), Island Native (7/2), Makeen (11/2), Prophet's Dream (10/1), No Surrender (10/1)

YOUARENOTFORGIVEN scored at Newbury from a mark 4 lb higher last summer and Tony Carroll's gelding looked back in form when third at Pontefract earlier in the month, so gets the verdict over Makeen, who may well have made the podium granted a clear run at Hamilton last time. Valkyrian has been seen to advantage when winning her last 2 starts, and though another 3 lb rise asks for more, she has to be respected given the form she arrives in.
