Forecasts

Mutanaaseq (11/2), Caribbean Sunset (6/1), Ey Up Its Jazz (13/2), First Greyed (7/1), Roach Power (15/2), Kats Bob (15/2), Burj Malinka (9/1), Run This Way (11/1), Coaxing (16/1), Kalganov (18/1), Armoured (18/1), Rum Runner (20/1), Rocket Rod (40/1), Cubanista (50/1), Stoney Lane (50/1)

EY UP ITS JAZZ didn't take to cheekpieces when only eighth at Doncaster last time but remains handily weighted and is taken to bounce back in style now the headgear is discarded. Last year's winner First Greyed seems sure to go well in his follow-up bid and rates the chief threat, atlhough a solid case can also be made for Burj Malinka, Mutanaaseq and Caribbean Sunset.
