Forecasts

Volenti (3/1), Rubellite (7/2), Filey Beach (9/2), Forever Proud (5/1), Mr Stanley (17/2), Pop Favorite (10/1), Elettaria (10/1), End Zone (16/1), Cloch Nua (22/1), Gregorianna (25/1), Tasever (28/1), Foshan (80/1)

POP FAVORITE came from rear to score for the sixth time over C&D earlier this month and can follow up at the chief expense of Rubellite, who caught the eye from a disadvantageous position at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. Volenti is narrowly preferred to Filey Beach for third.
