Forecasts

Truth (13/8), Calantha (15/8), Cymric (10/3), The Playboy Bomber (7/1), Fire 'n Flames (10/1), The Africa House (16/1), Tintamarre (16/1), Richard The First (20/1), Star Coin (40/1)

Verdict

CYMRIC failed to justify market support on his most recent run, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Calantha can also play a leading part, while Truth could also get a look-in.
