Forecasts

Zachary (9/4), Mart (10/3), Macarone (7/2), Elliott (7/1), Horse Whisperer (8/1), Lotting's Lass (11/1), Mehigburn (16/1), Jungle Jean (18/1), Vitarli (25/1), Stoneacre Girl (25/1), Belvoir Kitten (33/1), She'sashambles (66/1)

MACARONE showed improved form when getting off the mark at Beverley in August, before finding 6f on soft ground too much of a test last time, so he can resume winning ways as he returns to this shorter trip. Zachary made a successful all-weather debut 6 days ago and is feared most, ahead of Lotting's Lass.
