Forecasts

Anchorage (11/10), Capitulation (4/1), Play By The Rules (4/1), All In The Mind (5/1), Common Practice (6/1), Black Pepper (12/1), Ile De Circe (14/1)

ALL IN THE MIND deserves some extra credit for doing best of those ridden close up when third at Listowel 2 weeks ago and looks the sort his yard does well with in handicaps. Capitulation is next best ahead of Anchorage.
