Forecasts

Hafez (10/3), Global Vision (7/2), Desert Boots (9/2), Thapa VC (7/1), Footstepsonthemoon (10/1), Uproar (11/1), Highly Dancer (16/1), Carryonregardless (16/1), Laxton Ladd (22/1), Bomb Squad (25/1), Parish Academy (28/1), Say It As It Is (50/1)

GLOBAL VISION made some eye-catching late progress from a most unpromising position when seventh over C&D on nursery debut and, provided more goes his way, he could find enough improvement to defy a mark that looks lenient relative to his pedigree. Last-time-out winner Desert Boots also demands respect, while Uproar probably has more to come on just her third career outing.
