Forecasts

Parlando (11/10), Moonis (7/4), Arabian Tale (15/2), Sicilian Vito (14/1), Landermere (22/1), Spirit Of Cimarron (25/1), Combat Style (33/1), Ancient Capital (33/1), Double Dare You (50/1), Anglesey Abbey (66/1), Paolo Panini (66/1), Sous Surveillance (125/1), Hellavaheart (150/1), Luna Light (250/1)

PARLANDO overhauled a next-time-out winner in the closing stages on his 7f Leicester debut in the autumn and looks capable of defying a penalty with the step up to 1m likely to play to his strengths. The main threat may come from newcomers, with Moonis and Arabian Tale, a stablemate of the selection, a couple who make obvious appeal on paper.
