Forecasts

Pinball Wizard (5/2), Sonmarg (4/1), Forever A Diamond (11/2), Onthemoneyhoney (13/2), Surprise Picture (7/1), Shaw Park (9/1), Touchwood (12/1), American Star (25/1), Buttercross Flyer (33/1), Bellagio Man (40/1), Glen Esk (200/1)

PINBALL WIZARD seems to be finding his feet for James Owen and is taken to deny Surprise Picture a second successive win in this race. Forever A Lady and Sonmarg complete the shortlist.
