Forecasts

Just Brilliant (11/4), Farnese (3/1), Muraahin (3/1), Kudbegood (9/2), Jackmel (14/1), Emphatic (14/1), Clef De Voute (18/1), Guiding (18/1), Royal Marksman (25/1), Minky (25/1), Florence Thompson (28/1), Maestro Stick (28/1), Ranger Bob (33/1), Lady Laidlaw (50/1), Sors (50/1), Mairead Kate (66/1), Storm Approaching (100/1)

MURAAHIN and Kudbegood occupied the first two positions in a C&D handicap a month ago and they may well come to the fore again, with the former weighted to turn the tables. Of the rest, Just Brilliant has to be taken seriously.
