Forecasts

Minkaas (1/1), Zephyra (2/1), Grey Tamam (7/2), Elpeeare (7/1), Scoot Away (9/1), Plastic Dream (22/1)

MINKAAS had been off for 11 weeks prior to her close third at Yarmouth so it's possible she'll come on again and she gets the vote ahead of the class-dropping Grey Tamam and George Scott's Elpeeare. James Fanshawe has had a few first-time-out winners this year so Scoot Away needs checking out in the betting.
