Forecasts

Night Emperor (5/2), Coconut Bay (11/4), Captain Cess (3/1), Emerald Army (11/2), Misemerald (10/1), Forever Twenty (16/1), Breeze Star (25/1), Elashgar (40/1), Crown Of Dreams (40/1), Fair Isle Sioux (66/1)

CAPTAIN CESS has shown enough on both starts this year to think he has a race like this in him. Night Emperor has been shaping up quite well over 6f and is a likely danger if seeing out this extra 1f. Coconut Bay is next on the list.
