Forecasts

Popping Crease (11/8), Sjambok (3/1), Gold For Africa (10/1), Space Explorer (10/1), Joe Harman (11/1), Sassy (11/1), Jack Ryan (12/1), Belle's First Wave (16/1), Flying Asterix (18/1), Painite (28/1), Ballycotton (33/1), Texas Tornado (40/1), Twice A Saint (40/1), Wolfram (50/1)

POPPING CREASE is quite easily the best of these on form and is going to be hard to beat. Gold For Africa should be thereabouts come the business end, while Painite is prominent among those with minor place claims.
