Forecasts

Ormolulu (4/1), Bosh (11/2), Another Investment (15/2), City Captain (8/1), True Promise (9/1), Fierce (10/1), Aberama Gold (11/1), Havana Rum (11/1), Rohaan (11/1), Miss Hathaway (14/1), Fantasy Master (18/1), Dapper Valley (20/1), Northcliff (20/1), Sovereign Knight (25/1)

It could be worth chancing ORMOLULU, who isn't getting much luck at the moment and is in better heart than her recent form figures suggest. Last-time-out winners Aberama Gold, Fierce and Havana Rum head the dangers.
