Forecasts

Battista (7/4), Panning For Gold (11/2), Tuxedo Junction (6/1), Tarbaan (13/2), Forest Demon (8/1), Queen's Company (17/2), Wintercrack (10/1), Band Of Steel (11/1), Phantasy Mac (12/1), Taritino (14/1), Absolute Queen (20/1), Bold Ribb (33/1)

BATTISTA is bred to excel over this sort of trip and, having caught the eye when second at Sandown last month, he may well be ahead of his mark. Panning For Gold's record in handicaps is excellent and he's feared most, ahead of Tuxedo Junction.
