Forecasts

Bankawi (7/2), Shabs (4/1), Cloch Nua (13/2), Fast Danseuse (8/1), Kotyonok (9/1), Winning Empress (10/1), Laurentia (12/1), Channel Packet (12/1), Shyjack (12/1), Imperial Eclipse (14/1), Makambe (18/1), Rumourmonger (22/1), Smarden Flyer (25/1), Jedba (50/1), Roaring Rosa (50/1), Cable Mountain (150/1)

SHABS has shown enough to suggest he's capable of defying this sort of mark, so he gets the nod in an open-looking heat. Bankawi deserves credit for her consistency and is likely to go well again, with Cloch Nua another to consider back down in trip.
