Forecasts

Mr Hotstepper (11/4), Lindbergh (7/2), Tyrconnell (9/2), Mr Master Starter (5/1), Imposing (6/1), Mexican Pete (12/1), Bowie (14/1), Queue Wing (16/1), Open Highway (20/1), Shampompo Shampizi (22/1), Common Grounds (25/1), Parmenion (33/1), Ibutho (40/1)

IMPOSING can give all these something to think about but it's an open race. Mr Master Starter has the strongest claims of the others, while Lindbergh is the tentative selection for third. .
