Forecasts

Grand Karat (2/1), Zainabb (5/1), Ayr Harbour (13/2), Dark Side Thunder (8/1), Sonmarg (10/1), Another Investment (11/1), Johnny James (12/1), Thunder Roar (12/1), Justcallmepete (12/1), Zero Carbon (16/1), Shaw Park (25/1), Touchwood (25/1), Inner Temple (25/1), Symbolize (40/1)

ZERO CARBON shaped well when a recent fourth at Windsor and off a 1 lb lower mark he edges the vote in this very open-looking handicap. Dark Side Thunder is always to be respected here and next on the list, with Zainabb and Justcallmepete also firmly in the picture.
