Forecasts

Chessman (15/8), Turbine (16/5), Confide (9/2), Misterio (6/1), Flyin Hawaiian (6/1), Baronial Pride (7/1), Godhead (8/1), Fly Girl (9/1), Woodrow (12/1), No Patience (12/1), Zahee (12/1), Cnodian (16/1), Crystal Dawn (20/1), Georgia Peach (33/1), Persian Lion (66/1), Zeyaraat (125/1), Ernest Loring (200/1)

A deep race by claiming standards. CONFIDE made a promising start for his new yard in minor company in February on the back of a similar absence to this so he looks the way to go. This is a big drop in class for Chessman and he has to be feared for all he has won just once, with Turbine another to consider.
