Forecasts

Aristovic (3/1), Clarinbridge (9/2), Zaghraf (9/2), Pessoa (5/1), Bayou Belle (11/2), Nyla Rua (13/2), Cherry Bloom (8/1), Molly's Gamble (12/1), Danfango (12/1), Rules Of Atraction (14/1), Runhoney (20/1), Zonik (25/1), Supreme Law (25/1), Gunners Dream (25/1), Auriela (40/1)

On pedigree, ZAGHRAF should relish this increased emphasis on stamina and with Seamie Heffernan back in the saddle, he's just about the most persuasive option. Clarinbridge and Bayou Belle are just a couple of potential dangers.
