Forecasts

Manly Fireball (5/6), Numero Vingt (10/3), Unionville (7/2), Southern Warrior (10/1), Tainted Love (16/1), Saddle Up (18/1), Silver Splash (40/1), Molly Marine (100/1)

MANLY FIREBALL has improved with each run and looks the one to beat back from a break, especially with the form of his latest run proving strong. Well-bred debutant Saddle Up needs keeping a close eye on in the betting, while Unionville took a step forward when runner-up on his first start for his new stable at Kempton recently and must enter calculations, too.
