Forecasts

Vixey (7/4), Patontheback (6/1), Yorkstone (6/1), Surprise Picture (13/2), Carlton And Co (15/2), Northbound (15/2), Powdering (9/1), Atomise (11/1), B Associates (14/1), Golden Apollo (20/1), Reginald Charles (25/1), Sassoon (25/1)

PATONTHEBACK is in a good vein of form and might be up to notching a second win of the month. The likeable Vixey is second choice ahead of Carlton And Co.
