Forecasts

Medici Pass (6/5), Locked N' Loaded (7/2), Neptune Legend (6/1), Van Zant (15/2), Anif (14/1), Twistaline (16/1), Mr Marvlos (16/1), Tacitus (50/1), Rocklyn (50/1), Total Lockdown (100/1)

MEDICI PASS got off the mark in emphatic fashion on her first start for Iain Jardine at Newcastle last week and will take a bit of stopping under a penalty if turning up in similar form. Locked N' Loaded had little go right at Wolverhampton last time and is second choice ahead of Van Zant.
