Forecasts

Kendergarten Kop (10/3), Highest Mountain (4/1), Critical Thinking (9/2), Whatwouldyouknow (11/2), Broken Rifle (7/1), Amor Fati (9/1), Universal Effect (14/1), Servo (20/1), Steal The Scene (20/1)

HIGHEST MOUNTAIN reacted positively to first-time blinkers when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago, and seems sure to go well again providing they have the same effect. Critical Thinking and Kendergarten Kop are feared most.
