Forecasts

Cold Steel (11/4), Riccardi Medici (18/5), Firstman (11/2), Redstone Well (13/2), Musical Rhapsody (8/1), Whatharm (11/1), Adamaris (14/1), Cyclamen (16/1), Burren Song (20/1), Focus Required (20/1), Ghumama (20/1), Chavajod (25/1), Halcyon Spirit (25/1), Sheer Chance (33/1), Big Kitten (66/1), Constanta (80/1), Dare To Flare (80/1)

RICCARDI MEDICI was well found in the market prior to running out a smooth winner here last month. He's up 7 lb in a better race but he may well be up to the task, with Cold Steel and Firstman just a couple of potential threats.
