Forecasts

Cadarn (5/6), Sueno (9/4), Clockmaker (7/1), Volakes (8/1)

Having offered promise in a bumper, CADARN made a pleasing Flat debut when second at Newcastle last month, so he's preferred to Sueno, who is likely to progress from her debut, when she seemed inexperienced. That pair should dominate.
