Forecasts

Trouville (10/3), Kitty Furnival (10/3), Environment Amigo (4/1), Artisan Dancer (6/1), Carlton (6/1), Road To Wembley (7/1), Surrey Fire (9/1), Tailorman (16/1), Tipsy Tiger (22/1), Merrijig (22/1), Almudena (22/1), Wahraan (25/1), Jack McNamara (25/1)

Competitive stuff with the vote going to KITTY FURNIVAL, who took her form to another level when beaten only by one very well treated on old form at Lingfield on return. Carlton continues to thrive for this yard and is an obvious threat, with Tailorman completing the shortlist.
