Forecasts

Vino Santo (3/1), Lisdarragh (18/5), Essgee Nics (5/1), Toofi (11/2), Zahirah (17/2), Air Of York (17/2), Treble Clef (11/1), Ghostly (20/1), Never To Forget (40/1), The Yellow Mini (50/1), Loco Dempsey (66/1)

The weaker of the two divisions on paper can go to AIR OF YORK, who was on the back foot after an awkward start when well beaten in a handicap over C&D 7 days ago but is taken to get back to winning ways provided he breaks on terms. Vino Santo probably needed the run at Lingfield last month so he gets the vote to chase the selection home, ahead of Zahirah.
