Forecasts

Mount Athos (2/1), Flame of Freedom (5/1), Odisseo (11/2), Dynamic Talent (13/2), Counsel (11/1), Intervention (12/1), Tintoretto (12/1), Top Secret (16/1), Dayman (25/1), Consensus De Vega (25/1), Castana Dia (40/1)

A few with chances but ODISSEO can boast a C&D win and arrives on the same mark as when an unlucky recent second at Chelmsford City so is hard to side against. Handicap-debutant Mount Athos has a lay-off to overcome but is still feared most on the back of his easy Thirsk success, with in-form Intervention another who can have a say.
