Forecasts

Alexandretta (7/4), Arctic Mountain (2/1), Fleurir (5/2), Motriff (4/1), Endless Power (11/2), Hard Act To Follow (18/1), Atlantic Dream (22/1), Dreamrocker (50/1), Nannie Dee (80/1), Rapallo (80/1), Shaheen Saqaar (100/1), Brigantes Warrior (150/1), Expert Bear (250/1), Lite And Airy (250/1)

ALEXANDRETTA has run with credit on each of her three runs to date and shapes as if this longer trip will suit, so she takes marginal preference over newcomers Motriff and Arctic Mountain.
