Forecasts

Arthur's Victory (7/2), Eloquent Arthur (7/2), Spirit Warning (4/1), Sir Oliver (11/2), Pitchcombe (13/2), Makashi (13/2), Otago (15/2), Princesse Animale (11/1), Marselan (14/1), River Wharfe (22/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but it's hard to side against ARTHUR'S VICTORY in her hat-trick attempt given her ready Wolverhampton success and she has shown she can go in round here too. River Wharfe is feared most on the back of his excellent recent Brighton second, with dual C&D scorer Otago also much respected.
