Forecasts

Up And Under (4/5), Trustyourinstinct (11/4), Dawn Session (3/1), The Black Tiger (6/1), Voice Of Reason (6/1), Catani Gardens (7/1), Pittsford (9/1), Great Cat Mau (11/1), Red Special (16/1), Dubawi Delight (18/1), Open To Question (20/1), Duke Of Vienna (22/1), King Of Wessex (25/1), Tom The Second (28/1), Sparkit (100/1)

UP AND UNDER has bigger days ahead of him and it will be disappointing if he doesn't get the job done here. Voice of Reason is interesting on his return, while Catani Gardens, a stablemate of the selection, is a newcomer to note.
