Forecasts

Chosen World (5/2), Termonator (9/2), Palazzo (9/2), Camacho Man (13/2), Blazing Dreams (8/1), Curfewed (8/1), Lady Dauphin (10/1), Elusive Heights (16/1), Joyful Star (28/1), The Game Of Life (33/1), The Brora Pobbles (50/1), Buzz Lightyere (66/1), Sea Ewe (66/1)

CHOSEN WORLD is well handicapped on his best form and had been shaping up well prior to a below-par effort last time, so he's worth the chance to bounce back. Palazzo and Camacho Man are a couple of potential threats in an open race.
