Forecasts

Etretat (9/4), Silver Nightfall (11/4), Spectacular Style (4/1), Tribal Wisdom (9/2), Detroit Lion (6/1), Rey De La Batalla (17/2), Imperial Fighter (16/1), Calanthe (20/1), Joycean Way (22/1), Stipulation (25/1), Gordon Grey (25/1)

SILVER NIGHTFALL continues to go from strength to strength for this yard and produced a career best to resume winning ways in comfortable fashion from a subsequent winner at Kempton last month and a 4 lb rise may underestimate her. Detroit Lion and Etretat both shaped better than the bare result last time and they head the dangers.
