Forecasts

Warsong (3/1), No Retreat (7/2), Jungle Mac (4/1), Olympic Candle (11/1), Story Of Light (14/1), Sunny Street (16/1), Force And Valour (18/1), Al Arbed (18/1), Lahfaty (18/1), Iles Et Ailes (18/1), Falcon Of Arabia (18/1), Deep Hope (22/1), Itsatenfromlen (25/1), Tamborrada (25/1), Mustajaab (25/1), Spirit Of Leros (25/1), Silent Speech (33/1)

WARSONG hasn't stood much racing but on the back of a very encouraging reappearance a month ago, he looks well handicapped up in trip. Jungle Mac is very likely to give his running, with stablemate Falcon of Arabia also of some interest.
