Forecasts

Hanoi (2/1), Cloud Seeker (3/1), Imarajan (5/1), Copie Conforme (15/2), Gangster Granny (17/2), Question Of Class (14/1), Empress Alma (20/1), Nobody (22/1), Highland Bells (25/1), Goodbye Venice (25/1), Dancing Steve (80/1), Abel Mabel (100/1), Rogerwaswrong (100/1)

IMARAJAN appeals as a likely improver now he steps into handicap company with this longer trip also a plus, so he looks the way to go. Gowran third Hanoi figures on a lenient mark so is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Empress Alma and Copie Conforme.
