Forecasts

Church Mountain (7/2), Lady Arwen (4/1), Jarvis Brook (9/2), Kampala Beach (15/2), Harseva (8/1), Rockbury Lad (9/1), Skontonovski (9/1), Tartaraghan (10/1), Dazzling Spirit (12/1), Adhuil (20/1), Dark Treat (20/1), Marians Gal (22/1), Leviosa (25/1), Designer Cailin (25/1), Roderick (28/1), Hopkins (33/1), It's A Gamble (50/1)

There should be more to come from JARVIS BROOK, who only narrowly failed to make a winning debut for his new yard at Gowran last month and is entitled to build on that. Harseva and Adhul should also go well.
