Forecasts

Forest Caper (5/2), Penelope's Sister (11/4), Izzari (6/1), Boy Douglas (13/2), Hale End (13/2), Bowood (13/2), Quiet Resolve (9/1), Shaladar (12/1), Harswell Duke (14/1), Pisanello (25/1), Close Connection (66/1), Yellow Pages (125/1)

A chance is taken on QUIET RESOLVE, who's on a career-low mark dropping in class. Recent C&D winner Penelope's Sister is an obvious threat under a penalty, while Forest Caper looks an interesting handicap debutant.
