Forecasts

Vitesse Du Son (9/4), Bernard Spierpoint (7/2), Roca Magica (7/1), Global Acclamation (10/1), Lets Go Lucky (10/1), Fortissimo (11/1), Dark Crocodile (14/1), Mungo's Quest (16/1), Amnaa (16/1), Fujaira King (20/1), Burning Sun (22/1), The Lacemaker (28/1), Cativo Ragazzo (40/1), Perfect Symphony (50/1)

DARK CROCODILE really caught the eye on his reappearance after a 21-month absence at Kempton last month. He could build on that to take advantage of a low mark. Fortissimo hasn't shown much in recent runs but his mark has fallen as a result and the booking of Marquand looks a statement of intent. Amnaa is modest but she generally runs her race and could make the frame.
