Forecasts

Cynosure (11/8), Winterfair (7/2), Lucentio (9/2), Waistcoat (5/1), Devoirs Choice (14/1), Operate (16/1), Surrey Force (28/1), Laser Focus (150/1), Cavriana (150/1)

CYNOSURE sets a good standard and might be able to make a successful return at the expense of Wolverhampton-winner Winterfair, who needs to improve under a penalty. Operate is respected also.
