Forecasts

Starcaster (11/8), Christopher Wood (7/4), Reveleon (5/2), Dorella (11/2), Phoenician Star (6/1)

REVELEON scored on his stable debut last week but takes on much better horses here under a penalty that puts him on a 2lb higher rating than his new official mark. Dorella landed a Wolverhampton novice in February that has worked out well and gets her in here on an attractive mark. She is bred to handle the ground, but CHRISTOPHER WOOD is also proven on the surface and will find this easier than his last two starts. His second to Breath Caught off this mark in April is solid form and the booking of Jason Watson to claim an additional 3lb earns him the vote.
