Forecasts

Eden Storm (3/1), Sceptic (4/1), Francisco (11/2), Guiteau (11/2), Star Of Atlantis (13/2), Gilt Edge (13/2), Arlecchino's Gift (14/1), Boujee Gold (14/1), Poet (20/1)

Preference is for GILT EDGE, who ran well on her belated return at Chepstow last month and remains feasibly treated. Boujee Gold and Star of Atlantis can also make their presence felt.
