Forecasts

Garifullina (6/4), Shark Two One (4/1), Miss Willows (11/2), Piper's Fort (7/1), Redrosezorro (15/2), Mintana (8/1), Too Much Too Young (17/2), Porfin (14/1), Kessaar Power (20/1), Ishe Worth Agamble (22/1), Upper Hand (25/1), Max Stripes (100/1)

SHARK TWO ONE shaped well at Thirsk last time and a wide draw may be beneficial in these conditions, so he's marginally preferred to the hat-trick seeking Garifullina, with Mintana also considered.
