Forecasts

Isle of Wolves (9/4), French Martini (3/1), Diffident Spirit (4/1), Dogged (9/2), Star Of St James (6/1), Star Start (7/1), Contrast (12/1), Grey D'Ars (12/1), Tortured Soul (25/1), Aldbourne (28/1), Orange Martini (150/1)

ISLE OF WOLVES seems well suited by very testing ground so shades the vote over penalised-winner French Martini, who's significantly down in trip. Dogged looks best of the others.
