Forecasts

Woodrow (13/8), Keepthebestsideout (9/2), Slade Runner (5/1), Blastofmagic (10/1), Early Call (11/1), Great Midge (12/1), Pillar (16/1), Polly Douglas (16/1), Hodd's Girl (20/1), Zippity (25/1), Seanjohnsilver (33/1), Poeta Brasileiro (33/1), Danz Gift (40/1), Dash D'Or (50/1)

A competitive opener which can go the way of BLASTOFMAGIC, who has dropped down to his last winning mark and possibly needed the outing when third over this C&D 19 days ago. Keepthebestsideout finally put it all together to break her duck at the fourteenth attempt so is feared most now she's up and running, ahead of Early Call and Woodrow.
