Forecasts

Franz Strauss (3/1), Sean (5/1), Alhzeem (13/2), Nevershow Weakness (9/1), Lost Eden (14/1), Shafaaf (14/1), Thegreatcollection (14/1), Daramethos (16/1), Ajuste Fiscal (16/1), Makfoul (16/1), In Crowd (16/1), Celtic Prince (16/1), Tenbury Wells (20/1), Book Review (22/1), King Ottoman (25/1), Cosmic Desert (28/1), Quip (28/1)

FRANZ STRAUSS can put his last run behind him and resume winning ways back down in grade. Nevershow Weakness has progressed well this season and is taken to finish second, while Lost Eden also commands scrutiny at a track he goes well at.
