Forecasts

Azzuri (4/11), Militarian (11/2), Land League (8/1), Hint Of Grey (10/1), Jodies Jem (12/1), Unblinking (16/1), Cosmic King (20/1), Nicolosio (33/1), Salopien (50/1), Petrucci (80/1), Premier Currency (100/1), Absolutely Frankie (250/1)

Dan Skelton looks to have found an opportunity for AZZURI to get off the mark, having pitched him in against much better opposition so far and there seems no reason to oppose him. Nicolosio is a quality Flat performer who could prove dangerous if the penny drops over hurdles this time, while both Jodie's Jem and Cosmic King can go well. Keep an eye on the market with regard to expectations for some other interesting contenders.
