Forecasts

Armada De Lope (15/8), Starred (10/3), White Smoke (7/2), Thenandnow (9/2), Savile Row (11/2), Mumhan (8/1), Leveraging (66/1), Fox In Flight (66/1), Apothic Red (80/1), Manton Bay (100/1), Leannespour (125/1), Boston Max (150/1), Royal County Glory (300/1), Alandownunder (400/1), Jampa Ling (400/1), Countertop (400/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and THENANDNOW, who rates the form pick here, is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of White Smoke, who also holds good claims now starting out for Martin Grassick, Paddy Twomey's newcomer Armada de Lope also warrants plenty of respect, especially if the market vibes are positive.
