Forecasts

Zoiros (1/1), Riffa Spirit (7/2), Beny Nahar (7/1), Saxophonist (11/1), Elizabetty (11/1), Saniyaat's Star (11/1), Sudbury Hill (14/1), Due To Shine (50/1), Jambearee (100/1), Bobbys Pride (150/1)

RIFFA SPIRIT catches the eye on paper and is in good hands too so is taken to go in at the first time of asking here and thwart recent course runner-up and form pick Zoiros. Charlie Johnston's debutant Beny Nahar is another who needs considering along with Doncaster debut fifth Saniyaat's Star.
