Forecasts

Evening Verse (5/1), Skontonovski (6/1), Leabaland (13/2), Royal Tribute (7/1), My Little Tip (8/1), Jazz Dreamers (9/1), Rock Etoile (9/1), Akmaam (10/1), Admiral Nelson (11/1), Bodean (11/1), Airgead (12/1), Cool Vixen (25/1), Srowland Jack (150/1), Magical Lips (150/1)

ROYAL TRIBUTE arrives in good order and should put up a bold bid to resume winning ways. Evening Verse is an obvious danger and Skontonovski shouldn't be dismissed in an open-looking race.
