Forecasts

Some Nightmare (5/2), Stallone (16/5), Cape Columbus (7/2), Willingly (8/1), Enderman (17/2), Louis Treize (12/1), Little Brown Trout (20/1), Bluebell Time (25/1), Holbache (25/1), Lucky Beggar (50/1)

SOME NIGHTMARE is 4 from his last 6 and, while he had to work quite hard to get the job done at Goodwood last time, this race doesn't look all that strong, so he gets the marginal vote. Enderman also arrives in good order and strikes as the main threat ahead of Cape Columbus.
