Forecasts

Zaraza (6/5), Kintaro (9/2), Arkendale (5/1), Soowaih (11/2), Create (8/1), Dubai Harbour (11/1), Endless Power (14/1), Beautifulasalways (16/1), Hondo (40/1), Sheila Jane (250/1)

ZARAZA was very green when mid-field in a novice at Newmarket a month ago and could be the type to improve significantly, so he's preferred to the promising Kintaro. Create is another one to consider having made a successful start at Southwell 4 months ago.
