Forecasts

Thompson Gunner (5/2), Una Matata (3/1), Beat The Devil (6/1), Mythical Rock (8/1), Profit Surge (8/1), Exceeding (12/1), Man Is King (16/1), Drish Melody (16/1), Synchronize (20/1), Serengeti Sunrise (25/1), Plastic Paddy (25/1), Cezarro (33/1), Monastere (33/1), Red Veil (33/1)

Preference is for BEAT THE DEVIL, who posted a good third at this course last week and has fewer miles on the clock than most of his rivals here. Una Matata and Thompson Gunner head the list of dangers.
