Forecasts

Berkshire Phantom (6/5), Burning The Bails (9/4), Ben Hamrash (8/1), United Force (10/1), Youm Jameel (10/1), Odin Owns You All (14/1), Royal Razzmatazz (20/1), Desert Cop (22/1), Kilcummin (28/1), Afterwards (40/1), Lillistar (40/1), Sir John Monash (50/1), Born Ruler (50/1)

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM showed a fairly useful level of form in the summer and, if he's on his game back from 4 months off, he's likely to open his account. Burning The Bails is open to improvement after a promising debut and United Force is one of a few notable debutants.
