Forecasts

Uncle Phil (11/10), Imonlysaying (11/4), Maidenstreetprince (9/1), Footy's Bridge (10/1), Pahlavi (16/1), John Mcclane (20/1), Emeric (20/1), Hedgecutter (20/1), Shandancer (25/1), Abbeyhill (28/1), Ascension Day (33/1), Macanogue (40/1), Glascar More (40/1), Ilanz (50/1), Cheerful Chap (50/1), De Bangers Brother (50/1), Forever Frankie (66/1), Neev's Dream (250/1)

UNCLE PHIL is from a good family and represents top connections, so he seems like the obvious answer to this without the benefit of market clues. Footy's Bridge could make an impression despite his disappointing record between the flags, and Glascar More is no forlorn hope as a half-brother to a bumper winner.
