Forecasts

Umberto (2/1), Embesto (3/1), Star Ahoy (5/1), Serengeti Sunset (13/2), Covert Legend (11/1), Tajdif (14/1), Fly Zone (16/1), Plus Point (25/1), Story Of Peace (33/1), All That Glitters (66/1), Golden Moon (66/1), Story Horse (80/1), Trackman (200/1)

Preference is for COVERT LEGEND, who met plenty of trouble in running when an encouraging fourth on debut at Kempton last month. He should have learnt plenty from that. Umberto and Serengeti Sunset are also open to improvement and may provide the chief threat in what promises to be an informative contest.
