Forecasts

Nytol (6/4), Jacovec Cavern (4/1), Kasanova's Dream (4/1), Empire Succes (9/2), Je Suis (7/1), Coup D'etat (12/1), Sky And Sand (14/1), Fancy A Tipple (16/1), Native Dream (22/1), Rowdy (33/1), Rhythmic Tune (50/1), Ask Phil (50/1), Foxy Rock (66/1), Daws Cross (200/1), Skid Row Joe (250/1)

JACOVEC CAVERN failed to fire in a Wetherby handicap last time but his sights are now lowered and he will prove tough to beat. Kasanova's Dream and Nytol both remain open to improvement and they can fill the places.
