Forecasts

Donizetti (4/7), Redzone (6/1), Bridgetown (6/1), Kilconquhar (12/1), Tomily (12/1), Miss Behaving (18/1), Kolossus (20/1), Morty (28/1), Blazing Hot (50/1), Three Hat Day (50/1), The Mousen Champ (66/1), Joshua R (100/1), Storm Master (150/1), Mustavim (200/1)

Hard to see past DONIZETTI, who destroyed 12 rivals in a similar event here under Cal Rodriguez on Friday, responding well to the fitting of a visor and posting an eye-catching Timeform rating of 87. He'll follow up if in anything like the same sort of form. Bridgetown could have more to offer, while Miss Behaving also makes a bit of appeal.
