Forecasts

Reliable Ricki (7/2), Stay Salty (5/1), Sandy Craic (11/2), Lyrical Song (13/2), Solar Cooper (8/1), Space Moon (8/1), Lady Hornblower (10/1), Cosmic Man (10/1), Indefensible (10/1), King Of Chaos (12/1), Top Lad (12/1), Ubetterseethis (12/1), Willowinghurn (16/1)

STAY SALTY rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his narrow miss at Kempton so edges the vote from returning pair Cosmic Man and Lyrical Song.
