Forecasts

Sicario (1/1), Odd Venture (11/2), Sausalito (7/1), Jeanette May (8/1), Bold And Loyal (17/2), Glencoe Boy (9/1), Fast Flo (25/1), Ascraeus (40/1), Dark Icon (100/1)

SICARIO arrives on the back of a success at Southwell and should be able to go in again in a weak race. Fast Flo could pose the main threat unless Sausalito bounces back.
