Forecasts

Hellsing (9/4), Greenland (7/2), Papilio (5/1), Lakota Seven (5/1), La Dolce Vita (6/1), Serious Challenge (7/1), Pearling Path (17/2), Pandora Lovegood (12/1)

Having made a winning debut, HELLSING excelled himself when second in Group 3 company a fortnight ago and with improvement forthcoming, he looks the answer. La Dolce Vita is second choice, with Serious Challenge a likely improver.
