Forecasts

Cuban Court (15/8), Lylian (5/2), Sign Again (11/4), Noahsgreatrainbow (4/1)

Impossible to rule out any of the quartet but the vote goes to LYLIAN, who has been finding his feet for new connections and his latest third at Sandown was a significant step in the right direction. Sign Again won a point earlier in his career so he's taken to edge out Cuban Court for the forecast spot on chase debut.
