Forecasts

No Alibi (4/5), Cold Hearted (11/2), No Return (6/1), Spodo Komodo (15/2), Rajala (15/2), Wegotogether (16/1), Close Encounter (25/1), Idomything (66/1), Sakakibara (66/1), Spanish Temptress (80/1), Freelance Dancer (100/1), Carthaginian (200/1), Carmina Burana (250/1), Who's Listening (250/1)

The market could reveal plenty but Jessica Harrington's COLD HEARTED holds the edge on form so is taken to get off the mark back in these calmer waters. Newcomers No Alibi and Rajala both appeal on paper and could emerge as the main dangers in that order. No Return completes the shortlist.
