Forecasts

Namib Desert (6/5), Double Martini (9/4), Wildeye (5/1), Manterio (7/1), Smuts (8/1), Confessor (10/1), Tuscan Light (16/1), Enigma Code (28/1), Red Bishop (33/1), Gilded Heart (50/1), All The Kings Men (50/1), Purple Warrior (50/1)

NAMIB DESERT shaped promisingly on debut and could be hard to beat with improvement on the way. Tuscan Light makes most appeal of the remainder ahead of Wildeye.
