Forecasts

Whatawit (7/4), Lartigue (3/1), Beyond Words (10/3), Composite (11/2), Thirtyfourstitches (13/2), Villazon (22/1), Lookingdandy (50/1), Alta Comedia (100/1), Pacific (125/1), Silver Bobbin (200/1), Amenadiel (250/1), Mazaminsky (250/1)

WHATAWIT hasn't made the usual start that might be expected for one from the Prescott stable, but he has plenty of ability and should improve in this sphere, so he's preferred to Lartigue, a newcomer with an above-average pedigree. Beyond Words also has some potential.
