Forecasts

Robin De Roost (2/1), Fill The Tank (9/2), Sizing Malbay (8/1), Kitten Rock (8/1), It's Only A Number (12/1), Alpha Male (12/1), Bitview Colin (12/1), Ferocious (14/1), Mtada Supreme (14/1), Mystic Embarr (20/1), Rolling Revenge (22/1), Vic's Little Miss (28/1), Pegase Amour (28/1), Golden Sunset (33/1), Eightytwo Team (40/1), Attalco (50/1)

KITTEN ROCK is potentially very well treated now down in grade for a yard amongst the winners in recent weeks so could be the answer. It's Only A Number and Alpha Male are feared most.
