Forecasts

Yokkell (5/2), Devore (9/2), Independent Expert (5/1), Moonlit Mist (13/2), Any Dream Will Do (13/2), Operatic Artist (9/1), Eastern Wind (9/1), Semantics (10/1), No Niki No (12/1), Giselles Ausie (12/1), Arthur's Victory (16/1), Angel Above (22/1), Your Eyes Only (66/1)

YOKKELL returned with a promising third here last month and can build on it off a 1 lb lower mark to resume winning ways. Handicap debutante Operatic Artist looks a likely improver so is next on the list, with in-form pair Semantics and No Niki No both in the mix in an open handicap.
