Forecasts

Bhakti (9/4), Cuil Rogue (3/1), Phangio (6/1), Three Colours Red (8/1), Culm Counsellor (8/1), Kayflin (10/1), Away Down West (20/1), Whispering Nick (25/1), No Through Road (25/1), Goodnightirene (66/1)

Top weight Phangio can be relied upon to run his race and is respected, while Kayflin is of interest given her current vein of form. Culm Counsellor, Three Colours Red and Bhakti are others with claims, but the interesting one is CULL ROGUE, who was getting his act together for Nicky Richards before joining his current yard. If the change of scenery ekes out any improvement, he must be in the mix in this.
