Forecasts

Exelerator Express (11/4), Sail Away (10/3), Tile Tapper (4/1), Empire De Maulde (5/1), Magna Sam (11/2), Get Out The Gate (8/1), Royal Magic (12/1), Mossy Fen (12/1), Wandrin Star (14/1), Indy Five (18/1), Head To The Stars (20/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these, but the most persuasive one is for EXELERATOR EXPRESS who made an eye-catching return from an absence when fifth over C&D last month and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Tile Tapper has been off the track since scoring readily at Chepstow in February but is still feared most ahead of in-form duo Sail Away and Magna Sam.
