Forecasts

Little Keilee (4/1), Allo Arry (4/1), El Bello (11/2), Notforalongtime (11/2), Skontonovski (6/1), On Our Radar (13/2), Dromantine (8/1), Not Just Yet (9/1), Marks Bear (14/1), Eighty Eight (14/1), Baalbec Beauty (14/1), Rebecca's Girl (14/1), Superior Force (18/1), Belle Fourche (20/1), Winemaker (28/1), Ramiro (28/1), Penguin Island (50/1)

SKONTONOVSKI has been in fine form here of late and can strike for Ado McGuinness. Stablemate Allo Arry returned to form here last time and is a possible threat. Marks Bear, who is starting to look well treated, and recent C&D claiming winner Notforalongtime also make the shortlist. Dromantine would need considering if getting a run.
