Forecasts

Zwelela (10/3), Mighty Power (7/2), Lead Story (5/1), Desert Boots (5/1), Propagation (8/1), Dacesa (12/1), Shanghai Rock (16/1), Spirit Of Iffraaj (18/1), Elvic (28/1), Red Evelyn (33/1), Munificent (40/1), Saveatree (50/1)

LEAD STORY was ultimately nicely on top at the line when successful over C&D a fortnight ago and with greenness masking her superiority that day, a 3 lb rise is well within reach. There are several handicap debutants with the potential to do better, notably Zwelela and Spirit of Iffraaj.
