Forecasts

Fast Spin (2/1), Kodiac Pride (10/3), Lequinto (9/2), Campari (10/1), Poetic Force (12/1), Zap (14/1), Tukhoom (14/1), De Vegas Kid (16/1), Little Boy Blue (16/1), Swiss Knight (18/1), Rux Ruxx (20/1)

Last month's return at Leicester will have blown the cobwebs away for DE VEGAS KID, and back down to his last winning mark, he may represent a spot of value in what is an open contest. Tukhoom, Kodiac Pride and Fast Spin are 3 of 4 last-time-out winners in the field and are solid rivals.
