Forecasts

Cruise Control (1/1), Fairy Knight (13/8), Anuschka's World (9/1), Golden Link (10/1), Teatro (16/1), Slim Jannie (18/1), Cliff Top (20/1), Evies First (33/1), Romance In Rome (40/1), Ledell's Echo (50/1)

Verdict

CRUISE CONTROL holds a significant advantage on the form book and there is no need to look elsewhere for the winner. Fairy Knight could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Cliff Top is another with the potential to figure.
