Forecasts

Tell'em Nowt (4/1), Strategic Fortune (4/1), Divine Connection (5/1), Bomb Squad (11/2), Global Acclamation (11/2), Maahi Ve (13/2), Rania (8/1), Bobby Joe Leg (8/1), Glen Rosa (12/1), Chantreys (12/1), Mudawwan (20/1), Major Valentine (50/1)

STRATEGIC FORTUNE appeals as being on a handy mark judged on his pair of exploits for his new stable, not seen to best effect having been left poorly placed over C&D 4 weeks ago. He gets the nod to come out on top, with Global Acclamation and Bomb Squad others fancied to feature.
