Forecasts

Sonmarg (4/1), Novak (9/2), Snooze Lane (11/2), Evocative Spark (11/2), Ormolulu (8/1), Rainwater (8/1), Bint Havana Gold (8/1), A Pint Of Bear (10/1), Spirit Of The Rose (16/1), Buttercross Flyer (18/1), Em Jay Kay (20/1), Vaunted (25/1)

A PINT OF BEAR goes well here, is in good order, and has an ideal draw, so he's the solid option in an open-looking contest. Last-time-out winner Vaunted should come into it and Sonmarg deserves plenty of respect.
