Forecasts

Casaruan (10/3), Azets (5/1), Poetry And Art (6/1), James Park Woods (8/1), Casina Di Notte (9/1), Accomplice (11/1), Embolden (11/1), Dandy's Angel (14/1), Perfect Rose (16/1), Must Be An Angel (18/1), Parikarma (20/1), Lottie Marie (22/1), Moretti (25/1), Weloof (33/1)

AZETS is going through a good spell and found only one too good under this rider at Kempton 17 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote in a wide-open handicap. Poetry And Art is unexposed and open to improvement if she gets the longer trip, so she's also considered along with James Park Woods.
