Forecasts

Buoyant (10/11), Flying Secret (2/1), Nickleby (13/2), Koy Koy (12/1), Ribhi (20/1), Above It All (50/1), Amiga Meu (66/1), Resilience (66/1), Shut Up And Dance (125/1), Thank The Lord (250/1)

BUOYANT was understandably no match for a smart prospect at Ascot 3 weeks ago but he beat the rest easily and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Flying Secret made a very pleasing start over 7f and is second choice.
