Forecasts

Cubomania (13/8), Ink Master (7/2), Hargam (7/2), Honourable Gent (4/1), Ifandbutwhynot (4/1), Sudski Star (8/1)

Cubomania is interesting here and if back to the form of his chasing debut he should be thereabouts. However, INK MASTER has been in very good form himself just lately and with a clear round he has a big part to play, especially if the ground remains on the quick side. Ifandbutwhynot probably wants some rain, Hargam needs to find a bit more, and the same goes for Honourable Gent.
