Forecasts

Merapi (15/8), Sibyl Charm (9/4), Miss Yorkshire (3/1), Fistral Beach (13/2), Highfield Sunshine (7/1), Samra Star (16/1)

MERAPI ran well on handicap debut despite looking unsuited by the drop to 6f and can come good back at 7f. If fellow 3-y-o Miss Yorkshire recaptures the form she showed when going close over C&D on her penultimate start she may provide the main threat ahead of Fistral Beach.
