Forecasts

Simply Sondheim (4/5), Copperknob (13/2), Alvediston (17/2), Sir Min (10/1), Gulf (12/1), Nonsuch Lad (14/1), Baez (20/1), Virtuoso (25/1), A La Francaise (25/1), Prophet's Dream (50/1)

SIMPLY SONDHEIM is 3 from 3 since going handicapping and a double penalty might not be enough to prevent him completing the 4-timer. Copperknob could be the one to give the selection most to think about as he drops in grade, while Sir Min can go well upped further in trip.
