Forecasts

Mr Coco Bean (7/2), Jkr Cobbler (9/2), How Bizarre (11/2), Lucky Lucky Lucky (6/1), Galton (17/2), He's So Brazen (9/1), Oriental Lilly (14/1), Deolali (20/1), The Game Of Life (20/1), Thaayer (20/1), Agonyclite (25/1), Perfect Soldier (33/1), Vamos Chica (150/1)

This can go to JKR COBBLER, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green under an inexperienced claimer here earlier this month, and with his usual pilot back on board, he's fancied to regain the winning thread returned to classified company. Lucky Lucky Lucky is yet to win a race but keeps going close in these events so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Thaayer and How Bizarre.
