Forecasts

The Daley Express (15/8), Pettochside (11/4), Grey Galleon (7/2), Newyorkstateofmind (4/1), Boom The Groom (5/1), Iconic Knight (6/1), Centurion Song (6/1), Bay Watch (7/1), Secretfact (17/2), Coronation Cottage (12/1), Seneca Chief (12/1), Ginger Jam (16/1)

Cases can be made for most of these, but NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND's claims are just about the most persuasive. He looked on good terms with himself when finishing first past the post over C&D last time and a 2 lb rise looks fair. Coronation Cottage comes with risks given that she's reared leaving the stalls on her last 2 starts, but she is feared nonetheless, along with Boom The Groom and Ginger Jam.
