Forecasts

Poet's Pride (7/2), Art Of Unity (5/1), Fine Distraction (11/2), Hodd's Girl (11/2), Glow Worm (6/1), Attelboro (17/2), Passaggi (10/1), Jered Maddox (14/1), No Speed Limit (14/1), Brightburn (20/1), Brokers Tip (20/1), Zen Silence (20/1), Equipped (22/1), Realtin Fantasy (33/1), Smart Project (80/1), No Nay Yellow (80/1), I've Got Wings (100/1), Cyan Seize (150/1)

A number arrive with good claims, including ART OF UNITY who has bounced back to form having fallen a long way in the weights this term. Far from disgraced when sixth at Down Royal 11 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see him make a bold bid from the front once more. Hodd's Girl, Fine Distraction and Poet's Pride head up the dangers.
