Forecasts

Greenlight Express (2/1), Velvet Valour (10/3), Seeking The Life (11/2), Hat Man (6/1), Extraction (6/1), Like A Butterfly (8/1), Feel The Wind (8/1), Opera Verse (11/1), Bompas (16/1), War Of Hearts (16/1), Top Dollar (33/1), Heart Of Thieves (33/1), Hiersdieding (40/1), Summer Heat (50/1), Natural Wonder (66/1), Man Of Steel (66/1)

GREENLIGHT EXPRESS improved greatly on his latest start after a below-par effort the time before and has decent claims. Hat Man is most likely the sternest opposition, while Opera Verse looks best of the remainder.
