Forecasts

After John (85/40), One More Dream (3/1), Macho Pride (7/1), Claim The Stars (17/2), Golden Rainbow (11/1), Gowanlad (11/1), Thaki (14/1), Jungle Speed (14/1), Shark Two One (18/1), Stallone (20/1), Rajmeister (33/1)

A tricky closing contest to solve but AFTER JOHN is proving a revelation since being switched to an artificial surface so Iain Jardine's charge gets the verdict to bring up a C&D hat-trick. One More Dream, Thaki and Stallone are just a handful of others to consider.
