Forecasts

Captain Wierzba (15/8), Saracen Head (10/3), Optiva Star (4/1), Uncle (4/1), Expert Agent (6/1), Paddy's Day (7/1), Erosion Risk (20/1)

The market should reveal plenty with no form to go on, but EXPERT AGENT makes plenty of appeal on breeding and hails from last year's winning yard so gets the vote. Saracen Head is also bred to be no back number and is next on the list ahead of Night of Thunder newcomer Captain Wierzba.
