Forecasts

Spanish Tenor (4/1), Tar Heel (5/1), Eastern Racer (6/1), Tommy Taylor (7/1), Atlas (8/1), Affable (9/1), Ecoeye (10/1), Glacial Terrain (12/1), Angel Palanas (16/1), Hit The Silk (18/1), Shifted Strategy (18/1), Starlite Dancer (25/1), Nigg Bay (33/1), Dande (50/1), Tennessee Wildcat (66/1), Breagagh (66/1), Cactus Tree (66/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to SPANISH TENOR who can have his latest run overlooked when very awkward at the start and holds leading claims at these weights. Ecoeye has gone well fresh in the past so rates next best on these terms, with Eastern Racer another who can have a say if back on song.
