Forecasts

Kommetdieding (4/7), Rascallion (4/1), Silver Operator (7/1), Sovereign Spirit (14/1), Native Tongue (14/1), Warrior (16/1), Seventh Gear (16/1), Rockin' Ringo (20/1), Azores (20/1), Captain Flinders (25/1), Nexus (28/1)

SILVER OPERATOR is best of these on form and has an obvious chance. Native Tongue is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Rascallion also looks good for a place.
