Forecaster is fully exposed but sets the standard here off a mark of 75 having gone close the last twice in handicaps at Chelmsford. Hermann ran well on his debut at Doncaster in April but hasn't been seen since. JUST FOR YOU failed to quicken on Turf at Nottingham last time but wasn't disgraced. She'd finished second on Polytrack on her debut and deserves another chance. Imasumaq is a likely improver but handicaps probably beckon for Shah Of Armaan, though he might appreciate this step up in trip having looked one-paced over shorter.
