Forecasts

Malinello (4/5), Flash Collonges (7/4), Fishkhov (5/1), Broken Halo (8/1), Funky Sensation (17/2), Party Fuzz (12/1), Animal (18/1), Jerminnie Green (22/1), Carole's Templer (25/1), Entre Deux (100/1), Fleck Ivy (125/1), Trio D'ecajeul (150/1), Malinas Island (200/1), Myfanwy's Jewel (200/1), Midnight Annie (200/1), The Right Profile (200/1), Stalin's Script (200/1), Filthy Lucca (200/1)

A few in with chances here but preference is for FLASH COLLONGES, who may have been turned over at short odds but ran really well when finishing runner-up at Newbury last month and can get back to winning ways with improvement on the cards. Last-time-out scorer Malinello rates as the obvious danger, ahead of Fishkhov.
