Forecasts

Rebecca's Girl (7/4), Temper Trap (7/2), Zumaaty (5/1), Rievaulx Raver (13/2), Bulls Aye (7/1), Retirement Beckons (14/1), Absolute Dream (16/1), Blue Jay Way (40/1), Chinese Spirit (50/1)

TEMPER TRAP rates the pick at these weights so is taken to end a long losing run and bag a sixth success here. Top-weight Rebecca's Girl looks the one to give Tim Easterby's gelding most to do ahead of another course specialist Retirement Beckons.
