Forecasts

Dembe (6/4), Masqool (7/2), Ludo's Landing (11/2), Endless Power (6/1), Johnny Boom (6/1), Rogue Soldier (7/1), Ernie's Valentine (10/1), Precision Storm (11/1), Buxted Too (40/1), Reams Of Love (100/1)

The vote goes to DEMBE, who was badly hampered at a crucial stage over C&D earlier this month and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Masqool is bidding for the hat-trick and he may emerge as the main danger, while Johnny Boom and Ludo's Landing are live each-way contenders.
