Forecasts

Cavern Club (5/2), Kitsune Power (9/2), Titainium (6/1), Masekela (13/2), Path To Dubai (15/2), Ludo's Landing (11/1), The Crafty Mole (11/1), Letsbefrank (12/1), Perfectly Timed (28/1), Pergamon (28/1)

CAVERN CLUB won over hurdles at Doncaster last month and is taken to follow up back on the Flat for James Owen. Titanium has to prove his stamina for 1½m but his Redcar reappearance was encouraging and he's feared most ahead of The Crafty Mole.
