Forecasts

Drifts Away (9/4), Jaamir (10/3), Tea Sea (4/1), Devasboy (11/2), Mercurius Power (13/2), Light Up Our Stars (12/1), Timebar (14/1), Vecchio (20/1), Anif (28/1), Billy McGarry (28/1), Embarked (40/1), Distinction (50/1)

DEVASBOY shaped well on his first run for Mick Appleby when fourth at Lingfield last time and is fancied to build on that and fend off James Owen's lightly-raced Jaamir who posted a very good fourth at Chelmsford on his recent handicap debut. C&D winner Tea Sea can also have a say in an intriguing contest.
