Forecasts

Tadreeb (5/2), Just Hiss (11/4), Copper And Five (10/3), Garden Oasis (6/1), Broken Spear (10/1), Firmament (11/1), Saisons D'Or (14/1), Ventura Mutiny (22/1)

TADREEB is less exposed than most of these and he's done little wrong to date, improving with every run. He looked to find 7f at Musselbburgh a little sharp last time and this should be more suitable, so he's difficult to oppose. Copper And Five looks the most likely to trouble him after series of good efforts of late. Just Hiss is a C&D winner that can't be ruled out.
