Forecasts

Zoffandia (4/7), Cristo (11/4), City Of God (9/2), Epictetus (6/1), Hitched (10/1), Good Banter (16/1)

CITY OF GOD has evidently had his problems but he did enough to suggest he retains his ability at Wolverhampton last month so shades the vote over Epictetus, who is also favoured by these terms. Zoffandia landed a gamble at Kempton last week and would be a big threat if able to back that up.
