Forecasts

Tullyhill (4/6), Will Do (9/4), Vicky Victoria (12/1), Champagne Admiral (14/1), Givehimthehonour (16/1), Lazer Wolf (40/1), Minella Mate (40/1), Rare Millie (40/1), Pass No Remarks (50/1), Grace Faraday (66/1), Dylan's Day (80/1)

TULLYHILL has joined top connections since winning his only start in points and he's an obvious choice. Will Do is the danger having shown fair form to date and Givehimthehonour seems likely to improve from his debut.
