Forecasts

Super Cub (5/2), Rock Etoile (4/1), Wee Pablo (5/1), Winemaker (13/2), Dazzling Spirit (9/1), Sense Of Security (10/1), Chestnutter (16/1), Allo Arry (18/1), Linger For Longer (20/1), Shamastar (20/1), Maid To Shine (25/1), Monty Man (80/1)

SUPER CUB pulled clear of the rest when just denied at Gowran 11 days ago so looks ready to end his losing run. The in-form Rock Etoile is the obvious threat, with Sense of Security best of the others.
