Forecasts

Daphne May (11/8), Warhol (6/4), Balgair (10/3), Wonder Starelzaam (4/1), Liseo (6/1), Dotties Star (9/1), Stopnsearch (40/1)

None of these can be ruled out but WARHOL comes here on the back of an excellent Newbury second (form been franked) so edges the vote from in-form pair Wonder Starelzaam and Daphne May who can chase home George Baker's progressive 4-y-o in that order.
