Forecasts

Ottoman Fleet (2/1), Ambiente Friendly (2/1), Persica (3/1), First Conquest (6/1), Cairo (25/1), Lavender Hill Mob (80/1)

AMBIENTE FRIENDLY largely performed with great credit in the highest company last term and is fancied to make a winning return now under the expert tutelage of James Owen with this drop in trip also likely to suit this strong-travelling type. Ottoman Fleet rates a big threat though in his bid to land a hat-trick in this event, with Persica and First Conquest not totally discounted either.
