Forecasts

Cougar Mountain (9/4), Tribal Beat (9/4), Custom Cut (9/2), Raymonda (5/1), Elleval (12/1), Gordon Lord Byron (16/1)

Verdict

TRIBAL BEAT was disappointing when last seen but there's no doubt he's better than that and he should give a good account if primed for his return. Cougar Mountain is a capable sort on his day and Raymonda has less miles on the clock than most and looks capable of improvement.
