Forecasts

One Nation (8/13), Sharar (7/2), Highbank (4/1), Long Kiss (33/1), Legend Of Cannes (33/1), Al Khazneh (33/1), Solaire (40/1), Slava Ukraini (66/1), Nopoli (80/1)

ONE NATION only found a superior stablemate too good in a listed event last time and, if he's allowed his own way in front, he could go one better. Sharar was impressive in a handicap here recently and is a danger, while Highbank also deserves respect.
