Forecasts

Concert Boy (13/8), Typeface (3/1), Imola (4/1), Law Degree (12/1), Crownthorpe (14/1), Space Raider (14/1), Cuban Fiesta (20/1), Smaoineamh Sile (22/1), Northern Cracksman (22/1), Galileo's Compass (25/1), Pave The Way (28/1), Trais Fluors (40/1), Top Gun Tina (40/1), Nanyuki (66/1)

Lots with chances but CONCERT BOY signalled he is ready to garner a fifth course success when just edged out here only four days ago so gets the nod. Crownthorpe is on a long losing run but could emerge as the chief danger on the back of a good Redcar third, with Imola, Space Raider and Law Degree all well in the mix too. Cuban Fiesta and Northern Cracksman complete the shortlist.
