Forecasts

Vice President (1/5), Mick Collins (13/2), Declaree (10/1), Woottonpassit (16/1), Kings Hill (18/1), Slowdownbarney (18/1), Bladon (33/1), Jinxs Link (80/1), Cayo Pirata (200/1), Whoyatryingtocod (200/1), Ginnos Port (250/1)

VICE PRESIDENT has a terrific pedigree and has already shown plenty, third on debut before being narrowly touched off from the front over C&D last time. He should be able to open his account at the third attempt unless Mick Collins takes a marked step forward from his encouraging debut here. Declaree is the pick of the remainder.
