Forecasts

Kingdundee (8/15), Mercantour (5/1), Anuschka's World (7/1), First Origin (12/1), Cliff Top (12/1), Forest Spy (18/1), Zinovi (18/1), Play Act (20/1), The Winter Lake (28/1), Karangetang (33/1)

KINGDUNDEE was the beaten market pick on his most recent run, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Mercantour could be the sternest opposition, while Anuschka's World is another that merits respect.
