Forecasts

Khangai (5/4), Bay Of Naples (9/2), Casa Luna (6/1), Ocean Ridge (6/1), Mhajim (7/1), Endofastorm (10/1), Bond Spirit (11/1), Rose Light (16/1), Ladypacksapunch (33/1), Balgowan (40/1), Speed Court (66/1), Orange Martini (66/1)

KHANGAI has made an excellent start to life under the expert tutelage of James Owen and is fancied to quickly resuming winning ways having been left with too much to do when a C&D third last time. Casa Luna could emerge as the main threat with Endofastorm, Mhajim and Balgowan all worthy of consideration too for minor honours.
