Forecasts

Special Mayson (7/2), Vindobala (9/2), Chookie Dunedin (11/2), Carnival Zain (7/1), Blowing Wind (9/1), Jill Rose (11/1), Redrosezorro (12/1), Zumurud (14/1), Mutanaaseq (20/1), End Zone (20/1), Obee Jo (22/1), Sharib (22/1), Parys Mountain (25/1)

Plenty are in with a shout, but CHOOKIE DUNEDIN can race off the same mark as when scoring in an apprentic contest at Wolverhampton last week so he gets the nod in his hat-trick bid. Vindobala rates a big threat however with the form of her Newcastle success looking strong, while Special Mayson lacks a recent run but this C&D winner was on the up when last seen out in the autumn and can't be ruled out either.
