Forecasts

Come On John (5/6), Fiftyshadesaresdev (9/2), Opticality (13/2), Kojin (8/1), Pilgrim Of Culture (16/1), Sisterandbrother (18/1), Zousca (20/1), Mr Nugget (20/1), Brividi (22/1), Busby (28/1), Ricardo Phillips (33/1), Carlos Felix (33/1)

Cases can be made for several, but the vote goes to COME ON JOHN, who has made a fine start for current connections and went down by just a head at Wolverhampton on Monday. Zousca got going much too late last month and having switched yards since, she could give the selection most to think about. Opticality and Fiftyshadesaresdev can fight out minor honours.
