Forecasts

Afentiko (8/13), Camden Flyer (5/1), Arabian Cobra (7/1), Breakout Star (8/1), Manila Thriller (9/1), Pietro (12/1), Sensorium (16/1), Sweet Sonata (33/1), Arlecchino's Rex (33/1), Maui Breeze (40/1), Bear Route (40/1), Captain Cess (150/1)

This can go to AFENTIKO, who should have learnt plenty from last week's encouraging Lingfield debut. The chief threat is likely to come from one of the newcomers, with Breakout Star and Manila Thriller making most appeal on pedigree.
