Forecasts

Postileo (9/4), Dollar Value (11/4), Kendancer (11/4), Broken Ice (6/1), Gordons Aura (13/2), Brownstone (8/1), Kaleosun (10/1), Summer Tide (12/1), Gino Drummer Boy (14/1), Balinaboola Steel (14/1), Epson Du Houx (18/1), Britzka (28/1), Attitash (40/1), Dark Voyager (40/1), Darkened (50/1), Coastal World (80/1), Cathy West (80/1), Times A Wastin (100/1), Daicheadacuig (125/1)

GORDONS AURA ran poorly on the Flat last time but is favoured by the weights back in this sphere. The in-form Kendancer rates a big threat with top-weight Dollar Value best of the others.
