Forecasts

My Kurkum (9/2), Zuzzudio (6/1), Jurality (13/2), Superior Force (7/1), Macadam's Rock (15/2), Is That Love (9/1), River Derwent (9/1), Zero Fighter (10/1), Akeela (10/1), Carvalhal (14/1), Sovereign Banter (14/1), Top Of The Pops (14/1), Profit Surge (16/1), Feature This (16/1), Celtic Druid (25/1), Jazz Dreamers (40/1), Shahada Ace (50/1)

MY KURKUM shaped well dropped to 6f when a never-nearer second at Sligo recently and he is taken to strike back up in trip here. If Macadam's Rock manages to reproduce the form of his recent all-weather success back on turf he will be a big threat off the same mark, while Profit Surge is also shortlisted.
