Forecasts

Siskany (4/5), Ardakan (4/1), Kemari (6/1), Global Heat (14/1), Away He Goes (16/1), Al Nayyir (28/1), Charging Thunder (28/1), Tides Of War (28/1), Wickywickywheels (33/1), Magical Morning (40/1), White Heart (40/1), Count Rostov (40/1), Brilliant Light (50/1), Emperor Of The Sun (80/1)

SISKANY was a narrow third in listed company at Kempton when last seen and makes plenty of appeal back from a break. Ardakan is an obvious danger and Kemari can't be ruled out.
