Forecasts

Calibre Crest (9/4), Dawn Of A New Era (9/4), Let There Be Light (5/1), King Arthur (9/1), Leshawes (10/1), Castle Corner (11/1), Indus Knight (12/1), Sergei (16/1), In Cahoots (16/1), Romeo's Magic (20/1)

Verdict

DAWN OF A NEW ERA's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and he just about gets the nod in this field. Calibre Crest could be the sternest threat, while Sergei is in the running for a share of the minor money.
