Forecasts

No Nay Alexander (13/8), Sister Lola (13/2), Talbot (15/2), Prisoner's Dilemma (10/1), Ampeson (11/1), Crystal Dawn (11/1), Stellar Spirit (12/1), Skontonovski (14/1), Sunset Nova (20/1), Well Suited (25/1), Tresorier (25/1), Spilt Passion (25/1), Adelisa (28/1), Anjalawi (33/1), Eglish (40/1)

NO NAY ALEXANDER lacks experience but his mark looks manageable and there's surely more to come on the back of his 6f course debut success. Crystal Dawn hasn't been far away here the last twice and heads the dangers along with Ampeson and Prisoner's Dilemma.
