Forecasts

Mr Fantastic (6/5), King Casper (4/1), Footwork (8/1), Bentbasa (17/2), Cymbidium (17/2), Eternal Elixir (10/1), Surprise Again (20/1), Pistrucci (25/1), Yehudi (80/1), Testimonial (80/1), Pacific Man (80/1)

MR FANTASTIC was prevented by greenness from living up to market expectations at Hamilton on debut 3 weeks ago and can make amends. Footwork can be in the mix again, while Bentbasa and King Casper offered something to work on first-time out.
