Forecasts

Fort Augustus (2/1), Nightbird (2/1), Hucklesbrook (6/1), Panenka (9/1), Hofburg (12/1), Rogue Bullet (14/1), Skellig Isle (20/1), Sweet Sonata (20/1), Berning Hot (22/1), Shostakova (28/1), Lovestruck Romeo (40/1), Rogue Endeavour (50/1)

Lots with chances but FORT AUGUSTUS appeals as a likely improver now stepping into nurseries so gets the vote off an attractive initial mark. Hucklesbrook is weighted to have a big say on the back of his excellent Sandown second and next on the list ahead of handicap debutants Lovestruck Romeo and Nightbird.
