Forecasts

Strategic Fortune (15/8), Nine Elms (4/1), Send In The Clouds (9/2), City Escape (11/2), Oot Ma Way (6/1), Just Albert (15/2), Gertcha (11/1), Copake (22/1), Too Shy Shy (22/1), Red Skye Delight (50/1), Sea Fern (66/1), On The Nose (100/1)

STRATEGIC FORTUNE overcame a poor position to score with something up his sleeve over C&D a couple of months ago and he's fancied to defy a rise. The in-form Nine Elms could pose the chief threat and Send In The Clouds is capable of getting involved if stall 12 isn't too much of a hindrance.
