Forecasts

Swiss Connection (7/4), Kath's Toyboy (3/1), Cool Spirit (4/1), Red Walls (6/1), Raabeh (12/1), Aleef (16/1), Makyon (33/1), Apatite (66/1), La Chica Lobo (125/1)

SWISS CONNECTION was better than ever when runner-up at Newcastle last month and is the most solid option in a race where quite a few have questions to answer at present. Kath's Toyboy has dipped below his winning mark so could provide a threat. Red Walls may prove best of the remainder.
