Forecasts

Scots Sonnet (3/1), Perfect Soldier (9/2), Kyoto Star (5/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (13/2), Majestic Stone (15/2), Man Of Verve (9/1), Seven For A Pound (9/1), Benedictine (16/1), Grimsthorpe Castle (20/1), Recall It All (25/1), Burnage Boy (25/1), Buzz Lightyere (100/1), Thomas Hawk (125/1), Wedding Breakfast (125/1)

PERFECT SOLDIER ran his best race for Wilf Storey when third at Hamilton earlier this month and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Kyoto Star and Scots Sonnet look the likeliest dangers.
