Forecasts

Giuseppe Cassioli (10/3), Ice Cold In Alex (4/1), Shoot To Kill (5/1), Eastern Wind (5/1), Imperial Dream (5/1), Brains (11/2), Pier Pressure (7/1), Chestnutter (17/2), Pillar Of Hope (20/1)

A case can be made for plenty of these but GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI was a good third here last time and can build on it to resume winning ways. Shoot To Kill heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Imperial Dream, Pier Pressure and Brains in a competitive handicap.
