Forecasts

Mount Tempest (15/8), Gunsight Ridge (5/2), Xcitations (10/3), Cornerstone Lad (5/1), The Last Day (20/1)

MOUNT TEMPEST proved a different proposition equipped with first-time blinkers when opening his chase account at Sandown 5 weeks ago and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing on that evidence. Xcitations and the returning Gunsight Ridge head the dangers.
