Forecasts

Laskalin (7/2), Undersupervision (6/1), Killer Kane (13/2), Tallow For Coal (13/2), Grumpy Charley (15/2), Foxboro (8/1), Shanty Alley (11/1), Certainly Red (12/1), Kalooki (14/1), Le Breuil (14/1), Pemberley (14/1), Champagne Court (16/1), Valsheda (20/1), Moroder (25/1), Fagan (50/1), Almazhar Garde (50/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but the vote goes to TALLOW FOR COAL who returned with an impressive Lingfield success and can defy a 5 lb rise now his stamina is drawn out more. Laskalin is another who merits serious consideration on the back of a winning reappearance, while both Foxboro and Certainly Red need factoring in too.
