Forecasts

Bob Mali (8/11), Farandaway (4/1), Lunar Force (9/2), Goal Line (11/1), Harbour Snug (16/1), Lima Sierra (20/1), Mystified (33/1), Black Tide (66/1)

The market will no doubt provide clues with several newcomers on show but LUNAR FORCE ran her best race when third at Beverley 11 days ago, so Tim Easterby's filly gets the nod to open her account. Farandaway made a promising debut at Newcastle last week so he can provide most resistance to the selection, with Bob Mali and Harbour Snug seemingly the pick of the unraced horses on paper.
