Forecasts

Sinbad Le Marin (6/4), Zanndabad (7/4), Almuhit (17/2), Byker (9/1), Gordons Aura (10/1), Jacovec Cavern (12/1), Teagarden Jazz (14/1), Samadabad (20/1), The Lovely Man (22/1), Mighty Mo Missouri (28/1), Kanzino (50/1), Brave Troop (66/1), Downtherefordancin (66/1), Grappa Nonino (80/1), Feet Of A Dancer (80/1), Always Force It (100/1), Rocket Spirit (100/1), Your Honor (125/1), Portville (150/1), Secret Rock (150/1), Self Inflicted Sid (150/1), Winterscape (200/1), Chemdawg (200/1)

French-Flat winner SINBAD LE MARIN was just held back by inexperience when a promising third at Punchestown on his debut in this sphere and shades the vote in a maiden full of potential. Teagarden Jazz and Zanndabad head the dangers.
