Forecasts

Signore Piccolo (9/4), Musharrif (9/4), Elysian Flyer (8/1), Moonlit Sands (8/1), Grandad's World (8/1), Bosham (8/1), Mininggold (10/1), Lexington Place (11/1), Jacob's Pillow (12/1), Gamesome (20/1), Scuzeme (25/1), Minty Jones (66/1)

Moonlit Sands seems to thrive over C&D and should go close again if the going dries up, but the draw is crucial over 5f at this venue and it may pay to concentrate on those in low stalls. Minty Jones is interesting, but his poor strike rate is offputting, so the short list is headed by Signore Piccolo, Jacob's Pillow and ELYSIAN FLYER. The selection, who represents last year's winning stable, has plenty going for him if the ground remains on the easy side and can bounce back to form off a fair mark. Musharrif and Lexington Place are others to consider.
