Forecasts

Jazl (85/40), Bushwacker (11/4), Napolian (10/3), Alaminos (7/1), The Tunguska Event (14/1), Copperfield (16/1), Cosmic Man (16/1), Deep Sleep (25/1), Mademoiselle Belle (28/1), Hear The Drums (40/1), Nutbean (66/1), Hares Bredth (100/1), Master Harry (125/1), Lope Harswell (150/1), Ubettabehave (250/1)

Verdict

The bare form of NAPOLIAN'S runner-up effort at Ripon isn't anything to get excited by but he seems sure to build on that so he's awarded the tentative vote. Newcomers are feared most, notably Cosmic Man and The Tunguska Event before market clues.
