Forecasts

Engineer (8/11), Monfrid (5/2), South Shore (11/4), Giorgio M (7/2), Top Flight Century (18/1), On Song (50/1), Pickwell (66/1), Hearitfortheboys (80/1), King Street (125/1), Touching Hands (150/1)

ENGINEER produced a promising first effort when third at Kempton 6 weeks ago, just lacking experience at a crucial stage, and is preferred to Monfrid, who also made an encouraging start over this C&D. South Shore is a big threat if reproducing the form of his debut run for another yard.
