Forecasts
Art Of Diplomacy (2/1), Presentandcounting (5/2), Pull Again Green (7/2), Sure Touch (6/1), Salley Gardens (11/1), Moroder (18/1)
All of these have been around the block but ART OF DIPLOMACY is in the form of his life this summer, so Mickey Bowen's 9-y-o is fancied to regain the winning thread returned to fences and complete a 4-timer. Pull Again Green arrives in search of a hat-trick, but he may have to settle for silver here, with another last-time-out winner Presentandcounting rounding off the shortlist.
