Forecasts

Equinus (1/1), Bold Endeavour (4/1), Young Butler (7/1), Emitom (9/1), Hititi (14/1), Our Power (18/1), Dolphin Square (18/1), Martha Brae (25/1), Zanza (25/1), Fifty Ball (25/1), Only The Bold (40/1), Grumpy Charley (50/1)

Though there's still plenty of room for EQUINUS to improve in the jumping department, he clearly has a good engine and will prove a tough nut to crack with no penalty to carry for his recent reappearance success in a conditionals' event under James Turner at Aintree. Emitom scored over C&D on debut for the Alan King yard when last seen in March and, still on a good mark up 5 lb, he could be the one to follow the selection home. Dolphin Square goes well fresh and merits respect, too.
