Forecasts

King's Vanity (11/2), Amazonian Dream (13/2), Gisburn (13/2), Many A Star (7/1), Bishop's Crown (8/1), Knebworth (10/1), First Folio (11/1), Tanmawwy (11/1), Get It (12/1), Spanish Star (14/1), Lady Dreamer (16/1), Kingentleman (16/1), Home City (20/1), Indian Creak (25/1), Alcazan (25/1), Al Farabi (33/1)

FIRST FOLIO is down to a mark in the 80s for the first time in 3 years and might be worth siding with to build on a decent first run for the Julie Camacho stable at Newcastle last month. Last-time-out C&D 1-2 Amazonian Dream and Many A Star also make the shortlist along with Tom Ward's Lady Dreamer.
