Forecasts

Diamond State (9/4), Smart Lass (5/2), Lanty Slea (3/1), Zafar (11/2), Petrastar (16/1), Blooriedotcom (18/1), Celtic Flames (33/1)

An opening mark of 107 looks manageable for LANTY SLEA, particularly when Conor Rabbitt's 10 lb claim is taken into account, so he's preferred to the hat-trick seeking Diamond State. The reliable Zafar should also have a part to play.
