Forecasts

Phantomoftheforest (11/8), Mother Of Pearl (6/4), Letsgoglobal (13/2), Air Fusion (10/1), Edward Rye (11/1), The Gathering (16/1), Destinationunknown (28/1), Captain Tik Tok (40/1), Tincture Time (40/1)

PHANTOMOFTHEFOREST was unable to cheer backers last time, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Mother Of Pearl could provide the biggest danger, while The Gathering deserves some consideration as well seeing a racecourse for the first time.
