Forecasts

Kodiac Harbour (9/4), Subliminal (4/1), City Escape (13/2), By Jove (7/1), Laurentia (17/2), Amaretto (11/1), Exmoor Beast (12/1), Pilot Wings (12/1), Sophosc (16/1), Brute Force (25/1)

SUBLIMINAL was back on track when narrowly denied by Laurentia over C&D 5 weeks ago and is taken to turn the tables on Dean Ivory's filly this time. Kodiac Harbour is also on the shortlist on the back of a good second over C&D last time.
