Forecasts

Karakoul (9/4), Mickey The Steel (7/2), Life In Colour (9/2), Witch Of The Wood (7/1), Bobby Dassler (9/1), Coolree (11/1), Fanore (12/1), Squeezebox (22/1), Navarra Pace (22/1), Lokada (25/1), Redbud (33/1), Vocal Studies (40/1), Lalechko (50/1), Magical Vision (80/1), Poetikel Piece (80/1), Rules Of Atraction (80/1), Daisy Jones (100/1), West Bay Duchess (150/1), Bright Moment (150/1), Fairy Love (150/1), Donbass (150/1), Surviving Murmansk (200/1), Fascinating Secret (300/1)

KARAKOUL and Mickey The Steel have had plenty of chances between them but with nothing obviously lurking in the pack, one should shed their maiden status. Marginal preference is for Johnny Murtagh's 3-y-o.
