Forecasts

Yaiza (3/1), Vocarium (7/2), Longacre Square (4/1), Whatsinthecorner (11/2), Kilkeaskins First (10/1), Presenting Cody (10/1), So Enjoy (12/1), Battle Of Benburb (20/1), Ciao (28/1), Classic Moet (50/1)

WHATSINTHECORNER hasn't been at his best the last twice but can take this if recapturing the pick of his form. Yaiza and Longacre Square are others with decent chances on these terms if bouncing back to their best.
