Forecasts

Fiddlers Green (5/4), Rogue Tornado (3/1), D Day Arvalenreeva (9/2), Gordon Grey (9/2), Geelong (15/2), Captain Haddock (18/1), Golden Echo (22/1), Kittykarma (25/1), Fazayte (100/1)

Preference is for ROGUE TORNADO, who has a solid record in staying handicaps and has joined a yard who have a knack of improving their recruits. Fiddlers Green and Geelong should also go well.
