Forecasts

Bristol Hill (4/7), Morani Kali (11/2), Selfish Brian (7/1), Sicario (10/1), Jackamundo (12/1), Habanero Star (14/1), Bobba Tee (14/1), Straitouttacompton (40/1)

BRISTOL HILL overcame the run of the race with lots to spare at Newcastle last week so makes plenty of appeal turned out under a penalty. Jackamundo has his quirks but he shaped well starting out for this yard when runner-up over C&D 16 days ago and may emerge as the biggest threat.
