Forecasts

City Of Ruins (11/8), Unification (9/4), Book Of Tales (11/2), Dance Havana (8/1), Grain Of Hope (11/1), Feach Amach (25/1), Steven Seagull (28/1), Ocean Ridge (40/1)

A few of these bring potential, not least CITY OF RUINS who was a promising runner-up at Stratford last time and can go one better now. Dance Havana could emerge as the chief threat to Donald McCain's charge, with hurdling newcomers Book of Tales and Unification also in the picture.
