Forecasts

Saffredi (3/1), Moutarde (4/1), Nakasero (9/2), Dolce Far Niente (5/1), Bizarre Dreams (5/1), Thrifty Of Digby (12/1), Copie Conforme (14/1), Are You In Or Out (18/1), Flippity Flop (50/1), Finito Bonito (66/1), Maxwell Smart (66/1), Never Thought (80/1)

Assuming he's allowed to take his chance on the back of a close second on Tuesday, SAFFREDI looks ahead of his mark. If he doesn't run, Dolce Far Niente and Moutarde looks best placed to take advantage.
