Forecasts

True Conviction (4/1), Skontonovski (9/2), Tanseeq (11/2), Caesar's Comet (13/2), Shimla Rolann (15/2), Tynamite (8/1), Tai Sing Yeh (8/1), Destacado (10/1), Massaman (11/1), Dark Kris (11/1), Pulsating (14/1), Pimstrel (14/1), Faraah (14/1), Sure Cert (16/1), Spirituoso (20/1), Final Fantasy (40/1), Milltown Lily (100/1)

TRUE CONVICTION rather threw it away (hung badly left) when touched off by Tynamite at this course a couple of months ago, but he'd done well to get across from his wide draw prior to that and is clearly on a reasonable mark, so he's worth a chance to gain compensation under a promising 5 lb claimer. In-form pair Tai Sing Yeh and Caesar's Comet look the main dangers.
