Forecasts

Global Effort (2/1), Starshot (7/2), My Turn Now (4/1), Lilkian (5/1), Midnightattheoasis (13/2), Chiedozie (7/1), Captain Dandy (14/1), Fast Flo (16/1)

MY TURN NOW rates the pick at these weights so is fancied to add to her November course success, at the chief expense of C&D winner Lilkian. Global Effort and Fast Flo appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
