Forecasts

Moyassr (7/2), Ten Bob Tony (7/2), Judge Frank (9/2), Flavour Maker (6/1), Pianoforte (7/1), Finbar Furey (8/1), Persica (10/1), Cherryblossom Time (16/1), Yarborough (50/1)

The pair with previous racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so it makes sense to focus on the newcomers, MOYASSR getting the nod to score first time up before the aid of market clues. Flavour Maker also ticks plenty of boxes so he's fancied to be involved, with Pianoforte and Finbar Furey another couple worth keeping a close eye on.
