Forecasts

Puffin Island (6/4), Jaffathegaffa (18/5), Kerrera (4/1), Sovereign Moon (11/2), Deftera Lad (6/1), Rainbow Sign (15/2), Maharashtra (14/1), Skedaddled (33/1), Aquascopic (66/1), Magna Of Illusion (100/1)

PUFFIN ISLAND ran well to finish third in a handicap at Yarmouth last time and the form has a solid look to it, so he gets the nod in this decidedly weak claimer. Jaffathegaffa is an obvious danger and Kerrera is well capable of making an impression if she's in the same mood as she was when runner-up at Brighton a month ago.
