Forecasts

Crystal Mer (1/2), Scintillante (5/1), Ambassador (11/2), Cawthorne Cracker (7/1), Junior Des Bordes (8/1), Russian Virtue (14/1), Reel Rosie (20/1), Broken Bond (25/1), Penna Rossa (40/1), Black Tonic (50/1), Whyzzat (150/1)

The market will reveal plenty here with the trio returning from lengthy absences for new yards all making lots of appeal. CRYSTAL MER looks just about the pick of them with Sean Bowen booked, though Junior des Bordes and Broken Bond are interesting. Scintillante is probably the solid option.
