Forecasts

Star Ascending (2/1), Epitaph (7/2), X Rated (9/2), Cry Wolf (8/1), Sean O'Casey (9/1), Sonnetist (11/1), My Renaissance (20/1), Arabian Oasis (33/1), Leopard (40/1)

A few of these have a tough task off their current marks and there are others for whom the surface is an unknown. The first group would include Star Ascending and Epitaph both of whom looks as though they have been caught by the handicapper. Sean O’Casey and X Rated have to prove themselves on the surface although the latter of that duo has a pedigree that suggests he should act on Fibresand. It may therefore pay to take a chance on dual C&D winner MY RENAISSANCE who should be fine off this mark and strip fitter after his pipe opener recently after a four month break.
