Forecasts

Expound (4/1), Masoun (9/2), The Real Screamer (9/2), San Aer (11/2), Catena Zapata (6/1), Bill Silvers (13/2), Final Voyage (15/2), Beauty Generation (8/1), Lady Lunette (10/1), Moonlit Mist (18/1), Merlin The Wizard (22/1), Casanova (22/1), Complete Fiction (25/1), Westminster Moon (50/1)

BEAUTY GENERATION gets the vote to make a winning start for new trainer Jessie Harrington. Masoun wasn't disgraced in listed company last time and is respected back in a handicap. San Aer shaped well from a slipping mark here last time and also makes the shortlist.
