Forecasts

Mister Bluebird (5/2), Hierarchy (4/1), Punchbowl Flyer (13/2), Faro De San Juan (8/1), Maharajas Express (9/1), Sisters In The Sky (9/1), Sarah's Verse (10/1), Faustus (10/1), Glamorous Express (10/1), Connie's Rose (14/1), Redredrobin (16/1)

FARO DE SAN JUAN is on an appealing mark and shaped well from a poor draw when fourth at Redcar last time, so he gets the marginal vote in what looks a tightly-knit contest. Recent course winner Sisters In The Sky is worthy of respect for all that this is a much stronger race, while Hierarchy is likely to be on the premises.
