Forecasts

Wrought Iron (3/1), Fantasy Navigator (3/1), Dark Side Thunder (11/2), Eldeyaar (8/1), Almodovar Del Rio (8/1), Arlecchino's Gift (17/2), Lucky Lucky Lucky (10/1), Bonita B (16/1), Amazing Mollie (25/1), Banana (25/1), Armo (40/1), Little Girl Blue (50/1)

A 2 lb nudge for FANTASY NAVIGATOR's Kempton success may not prevent Mick Appleby's charge from following up. Wrought Iron has been in fine form on AW lately and is feared most ahead of last-time-out Brighton scorer Almodovar del Rio.
