Forecasts

Foreign Legion (4/1), Indiana Grey (4/1), Tynamite (9/2), Guiding (6/1), Fall For A Kiss (17/2), Sweet Justice (10/1), Eacharn (10/1), Tyriana (11/1), Caesar's Comet (12/1), Quick Quick (28/1), Farnese (33/1), Sasvana (33/1), Path Of Flowers (40/1), No Nay Yellow (50/1), Royal Hideaway (50/1), My Lucky Penny (66/1), Shatharaat (66/1)

A couple of last-time-out winners in TYNAMITE and Foreign Legion could hold sway, with David Marnane's charge probably more likely to give his running again judged on recent form. Indiana Grey completes the shortlist.
