Forecasts

Cold Stare (4/1), As If By Chance (4/1), Society Lion (5/1), Little Earl (7/1), Parisiac (10/1), After John (10/1), Kapono (10/1), Cotai West (14/1), Emeralds Pride (14/1), Showmolina (16/1), Run This Way (16/1), Ramiro (20/1), Impeller (22/1)

COLD STARE caught the eye when a strong-travelling fourth on his return at Doncaster and can capitalise on an easing mark here. C&D winner As If By Chance is another weighted to have a say and next on the list ahead of Newcastle-second Kapono.
