Forecasts

Inaam (5/4), Billian (18/5), My Boy Jack (9/2), Master Sully (11/2), May Remain (7/1), Savalas (12/1), Okaidi (12/1), Dodgy Bob (16/1), Our Man In Havana (25/1), Musaytir (33/1), Six O' Hearts (80/1), Highland Lass (150/1), I Didn't Cost Alot (200/1)

The draw could have been kinder but INAAM still rather stands out as an in-form sort in the line-up and can gain a third win in his last 4 starts. The likes of My Boy Jack, Billian and Master Sully can fight it out for minor honours.
