Forecasts

Fidelius (2/1), Macanudo (85/40), Johnny Johnson (11/4), Horse Whisperer (4/1), Kingwood Queen (5/1), Smooth Silesie (13/2)

Clearly suited by the reapplication of headgear, MACANUDO posted his best effort for some time at Newbury last week and remains fairly treated. He can return to winning ways. Recent scorers Fidelius and Kingwood Queen are the obvious dangers.
