Forecasts

Botanist (11/10), Safra (9/4), Mr Stanley (13/2), Tippy Toes (7/1), Aadel (12/1), Dads Army (50/1), Miss Houdini (100/1), Bear To Dream (200/1), Fontana Del Moro (400/1)

BOTANIST shaped very encouragingly at Newbury last month having travelled through the race very well. That looked a much stronger event than this and he should be able to shed his maiden tag today. Safra has to be taken seriously, while Mr Stanley and Aadel are both unexposed and could improve to play a part too.
