Forecasts

Kingdom Of Kush (85/40), Darjeel (3/1), Battleworthy (3/1), Saturn Star (4/1), Martaban (11/2), Scythe (7/1), Epistle (33/1), Uncle Zello (40/1), Tom Thumb (100/1)

With only one having had a previous race, preference is for BATTLEWORTHY, who makes plenty of appeal on paper and can add to his trainer's superb run of form. Kingdom of Kush also represents a yard going great guns at present and is next on the list, ahead of Saturn Star.
