Forecasts

Tribal Art (8/11), Charging Thunder (7/4), Kentucky Kitten (9/1), Taxmeifyoucan (25/1)

This looks to revolve around TRIBAL ART, who produced the best turn of foot in a steadily-run affair to score at Kempton a fortnight ago and Mark Johnston's progressive 3-y-o is taken to notch a third victory of his career. Charging Thunder just about shades the vote for the forecast spot, ahead of Kentucky Kitten.
