Forecasts

Star Zinc (5/2), Swiss Ace (11/4), Hortzadar (6/1), Dornoch Castle (6/1), Irish Flame (8/1), Jahidin (10/1), Trais Fluors (12/1), Bashful (25/1), Showmedemoney (40/1)

If STAR ZINC is in the same form as when second at Southwell recently he'll stand a good chance of going one better. Karl Burke's Jahidin reacted well to cheekpieces when third at Wolverhampton and is second choice ahead of Swiss Ace.
