Forecasts

Captain Ciano (13/8), Merchants Arch (2/1), Shamanka (7/2), Timandi (9/1), Elegante Lady (16/1), Letters Of Love (28/1), Far Above Dream (33/1), Weegeebear (40/1)

CAPTAIN CIANO possesses the best form on show so is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Merchants Arch who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when a good C&D sixth last time out. Shamanka can also have a say reverted to her optimum distance.
