Forecasts

Ayr Poet (11/4), Dwindling Funds (3/1), Epidavros (4/1), Yermanthere (9/2), Penelope's Sister (9/2), Zipster (13/2), Pol Roger (9/1), One Eye Jack (12/1)

Lots with chances but DWINDLING FUNDS can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a solid recent third over C&D so is taken to garner a fifth success of 2025 at the chief expense of stablemate Penelope's Sister. Pol Roger and Epidavros can also have a say.
