Forecasts

Monaadhil (5/2), Love Destiny (9/2), Martineo (6/1), Viewfromthestars (8/1), Cappananty Con (17/2), Bo Taifan (9/1), Reclaim Victory (12/1), Fast Danseuse (14/1), Piselli Molli (18/1), Shorts On (20/1), Wooders Dream (25/1), Moveonup (40/1)

MARTINEO rallied well to score at Newcastle last time and gets the nod to follow up here from only a marginally higher mark. Cappananty Con and Viewfromthestars also arrive here on the back of good performances and can complete the placings.
