Forecasts

Brabusach (85/40), Khangai (9/4), Yesisaidyes (6/1), Zakram (6/1), Fantastic Artist (15/2), Man Made Of Smoke (17/2), Angel De Luz (11/1), Ocean Ridge (14/1), Two Plus Two (20/1), Mont Vallon (22/1)

This can go to BRABUSACH, who bumped into one at the top of his game at Nottingham just over 3 weeks ago and, with this longer trip holding no fears, he's taken to open his account. The main danger could emerge from Yesisaidyes, who hasn't shown much so far but may well take a step forward now handicapping given his smart pedigree. Khangai and Man Made of Smoke can fight out third spot.
