Forecasts

Gemologist (5/2), Smart Lass (3/1), Sarvi (9/2), Set In Stone (5/1), Durragh (8/1), The Wild Wild Sea (10/1), Walkonby (18/1), Sweet Justice (200/1)

A tight-knit hanicap in which SARVI edges the vote given she arrives in very good order and can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when fifth here a fortnight ago. Durragh can have a big say if building on her recent Leicester fifth after a break, with handicap-debutante Walkonby in the mix too.
