Forecasts

Lord Melbourne (2/1), Stressfree (9/4), Kotari (9/2), Galyx (5/1), Power Of Destiny (5/1), Dambuster (11/1), Bust A Move (16/1), Aviemore (18/1), Ma Belle Artiste (200/1)

STRESSFREE scored with plenty up his sleeve at Chester last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He makes plenty of appeal. Lord Melbourne and Kotari are feared most.
