Forecasts

Savrola (11/4), Spanish Hustle (7/2), Rory The Cat (4/1), Spartan Warrior (9/2), Tilsitt (13/2), Arch Legend (12/1), Stand Strong (20/1), Bulls Aye (40/1)

SAVROLA came from further back than the other principals when fourth over 1¼m at Ayr last time and is taken to build on that promising effort now stepping back up in trip. Tilsitt was narrowly in front of the selection on that occasion and can give him most to do ahead of Spanish Hustle.
