Forecasts

Chapel Lane (11/4), Eleven A (10/3), L L Koulsty (11/2), Divelment (15/2), Wipeawayyourtears (15/2), Saxon Grace (15/2), Princess Rosie (12/1), Castelluccia (18/1), Solomon Islands (22/1), Katalpa (25/1), Pliny (28/1), Maker's Mark (40/1)

Given his pedigree, CHAPEL LANE shaped very well when a staying-on third over a sprint trip on debut and he appeals most stepping up in trip. Saxon Grace showed ability when fourth at Sligo on her racecourse bow and would have finished closer but for interference, she's feared most stepping up to 7f while Divelment looks worth another chance to build on the promise of his debut effort following a break.
