Forecasts

Sopat (7/2), Sergeant (5/1), Cryogenics (5/1), Bold Reason (6/1), Pokari (6/1), Magical Thomas (17/2), Court Dancer (17/2), Gerard Mentor (14/1), Grey Flint (14/1), Eventful (16/1), Ingenuity (40/1), Antidote (40/1), Cheat (66/1), Third Estate (80/1), Rubheira (200/1)

This could be a lively betting heat, with CRYOGENICS potentially very well treated having joined a good yard since last seen in March. Sergeant would also be interesting if backed in the market from his lowly mark now handicapping, while Sopat and Bold Reason are pretty solid at this level.
