Forecasts

Kasimir (6/4), Twist Of Fate (3/1), Count Jack (4/1), Majestic Mozart (7/1), More Magic (17/2), Snow Report (10/1), Ready Steady Go (16/1), Tap O' Noth (33/1), Cat Daddy (40/1)

KASIMIR was a bit disappointing when favourite last time out, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Tap O' Noth is likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Twist Of Fate also demands consideration.
