Forecasts

Surf Club (6/5), Valsorpresa (2/1), Extrapolation (3/1), Isenay (5/1), The Tiger Tank (16/1), Glentaisie (25/1), Augusta George (40/1), The Bog Garden (50/1)

SURF CLUB is related to a smart chaser and is in excellent hands, so he's well worth a chance to make a successful debut. Extrapolation has the best bumper form to date and is feared, while Valsorpresa should be involved if he can put a tame effort behind him.
