Forecasts

Finn Russell (5/4), Graffiti (9/2), Prince Ali (6/1), Verona Star (13/2), Ellexis (15/2), Give A Little Back (10/1), High Court Judge (12/1), Harbour Vision (12/1), Awesome Spirit (22/1)

The vote goes to GRAFFITI, who did the job well over 9.5f here last time and neither this drop back in trip nor the 6 lb rise are likely to overly inconvenience him. Prince Ali was below par last time but he's otherwise been in good form in recent months and looks the main danger ahead of Harbour Vision and Finn Russell.
