Forecasts

Melton Mossy (11/4), Zhang Fei (10/3), Colonel Lesley (7/2), Supposedtobe (11/2), Bravewhenineedtobe (12/1), Baltic Voyage (12/1), Motazzen (20/1), Phoenix Risen (22/1), Kilcummin (25/1), Galactic Glow (33/1), Bears Hug (40/1), Demelza Carne (150/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but BALTIC VOYAGE was a fairly useful winner on the level and looks to start life in handicaps off a lenient mark so earns the vote. In-form C&D scorer Colonel Lesley rates the main danger, with Supposedtobe, Bears Hug and Zhang Fei also worthy of respect.
