Forecasts

Sao Carlos (9/4), Asta La Pasta (4/1), Dasher (9/2), Tintagel Queen (7/1), West Warhorse (15/2), Navigate West (8/1), Ebony Spirit (8/1), Sister Julienne (14/1), Island Approach (20/1)

TINTAGEL QUEEN is a sister to a couple of winners and ought to have enough speed for this sort of test, so she's preferred to Asta La Pasta without the benefit of market clues. Dasher also makes plenty of appeal on paper, as does the selection's stablemate Sao Carlos.
