Forecasts

Chateau Musar (11/4), Macaban City (3/1), Odd Venture (7/2), Maricruz (13/2), Lunastar (15/2), Evening Verse (14/1), Port Lockroy (16/1), Alwisaam (16/1), Majestic Jewel (18/1), The Bank Of Dad (25/1), Lieutenant Silver (28/1), Pretty Little Liar (33/1), Forgetthesurprise (33/1), Heatstroke (50/1), Daddy's Gal (80/1), Mutanaqel (100/1), Katie's Reign (125/1)

A belated first taste of success may be in the offing for ODD VENTURE, who has put in good shifts on both starts here for his new yard and he remains on a plausible mark. Maricruz continues to slide down the weights and should make his presence felt, a remark which also applies to the in-form Chateau Musar. Lunastar is another for the shortlist.
