Forecasts

Umzingeli Wenyathi (5/4), His Lordship (7/2), Twentytwentyvision (11/2), Hemisphere (6/1), Lonely As A Cloud (10/1), Slender Silhouette (12/1), Rock Of Bismantova (20/1), Fifty Ways (20/1), Cold Shine (20/1), Saketini (25/1), Bumps Last Grind (28/1)

HIS LORDSHIP should give a good account but will need to be on song. Umzingeli Wenyathi is the most realistic next preference, while Rock Of Bismantova also seems unlikely to be far away.
