Forecasts

Newton Jack (11/4), McCann The Man (4/1), Knowwhentorun (6/1), Espresso Freddo (7/1), Celtic Empress (8/1), Kondratiev Wave (9/1), Apex King (14/1), Vocatus (14/1), The Rain King (22/1), Natalie Rose (33/1)

Preference is for MCCANN THE MAN, who is less exposed than most of his rivals and looks fairly treated for his return to action. Espresso Freddo and Kondratiev Wave look the likeliest dangers.
