Forecasts

Kaatibb (5/4), Tack (4/1), Royal Aviation (5/1), Brunel Charm (7/1), Raise The Roof (15/2), Melody Cher (9/1), Big Narstie (14/1), Tango Tonight (16/1), Prince Rock (28/1), Newton Jack (28/1), Vitalline (66/1)

TACK caught the eye keeping on under a hands-and-heels ride on his reappearance at Newcastle 26 days ago and appeals as the type to do better now handicapping, so he earns the vote. Tango Tonight and Royal Aviation are a couple of potential threats.
