Forecasts

Scheherazade (4/1), Dancing Master (4/1), Tinchoo (5/1), Largo Bay (7/1), Twilley (17/2), Ambarella (9/1), Maxine (11/1), Monjazaat (12/1), Patroon (12/1), Langafel (20/1), Friendly Princess (40/1), Rakish Paddy (40/1), Broadhaven (66/1), Mitcham Fair (66/1)

PATROON has quite a useful pedigree and appeals as one whose form could take off now handicapping. Scheherazade offered a bit of encouragement on her handicap debut/reappearance and is a possible threat along with Salisbury runner-up Dancing Master and Mick Appleby's Twilley.
