Forecasts

Elvetham (5/4), No Return (15/8), Mart (7/2), Dontspoilasale (5/1), Fletcher's Flight (20/1), Lochaber (22/1)

DONTSPOILASALE has slipped to an attractive mark and caught the eye here last time so is fancied to gain a first win for Jim and Suzi Best with market confidence likely to prove highly significant. Elvetham could emerge as the main threat.
