Forecasts

World Of Darcy (8/13), Dequinto (9/2), Porfin (7/1), Tomorrow Day (15/2), Fai Fai (10/1), Repartee (25/1), Mark The Sparks (66/1), Captain Red Blazer (100/1)

WORLD OF DARCY has a 12 lb penalty to overcome but arrives in rare form so is fancied to rattle off his hat-trick at the chief expense of Fai Fai who rates next best at these weights. Newcastle victor Tomorrow Day and C&D winner Porfin also merit plenty of respect in the battle for minor honours.
