Forecasts

Fortunate Star (11/5), Zargun (11/2), High Opinion (6/1), Mehmo (17/2), Glorious Rio (9/1), Harry With Style (11/1), Stallone (12/1), Bama Lama (16/1), Refuge (16/1), Ohnojoe (18/1), Under Curfew (28/1)

ZARGUN finally cashed in on a falling mark at Doncaster last month and, back in a more suitable grade after a lesser effort at Thirsk, he may well be able to dominate these. High Opinion made up plenty of ground at Newcastle last time and is a threat, along with Mehmo.
