Forecasts

First Folio (5/2), Hydration (3/1), Sterling Knight (4/1), Tolstoy (5/1), Kuwait City (13/2), Tabdeed (11/1)

FIRST FOLIO is well treated and gave a clear indication that he's back in top form when third at Thirsk last time, so he makes most appeal. Hydration is still lightly raced and was better than the result at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, so he looks the main danger ahead of Tabdeed.
