Forecasts

Rizal (9/4), Tilani (5/2), Vlhova (7/1), Flying Fortress (7/1), Sir Jeremy (8/1), Staywitherjohnny (16/1), Withoutfurtherado (18/1), William F Browne (18/1), Amplitude (20/1), Georg Zhukov (25/1), Virgil Tibbs (28/1), Edergole's Angel (33/1), Electric Beauty (40/1), Vovatia (66/1), Romantic War (150/1)

TILANI scored impressively here last time and is on the up since joining Dermot Weld so looks the way to go. Flying Fortress chased home the selection then and again is a threat, while Virgil Tibbs and Rizal can also be in the hunt for minor honours.
