Forecasts

Sinnatra (5/4), Hillwalk (10/3), Assertive Walk (8/1), Tongaknoxie (10/1), Pure Blue (11/1), Tao Enki (14/1), Jiggy Waller (20/1), Harry Bright (22/1), Pop's Folly (25/1), Spanish Dancer (33/1), Leonidass (33/1), Peace Motivator (33/1), Quinn's Reward (100/1), Tipping Point (200/1)

In a concluding bumper where the betting should be informative SINNATRA gets the vote for last year's winning stable. Harry Bright, Hillwalk, who was closing in second when falling at the last in his sole point, and Assertive Walk are other interesting runners before any market clues are known.
