Forecasts

Destinado (13/8), Global Style (7/2), Rushmore (4/1), Harmonious (13/2), Miss Elsa (14/1), Alnwick Castle (14/1), Two Two Time (16/1), Nachos Cheese (20/1)

Most of these arrive with something to prove so this looks to rest between Tony Carroll's in-form duo GLOBAL STYLE and Destinado with preference for the former who just holds the edge at these weights. Nachos Cheese appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
