Forecasts

Makalu (11/4), Copper Mountain (3/1), Amaysmont (5/1), Billy McGarry (6/1), Flying Panther (6/1), Star Of St James (11/1), Wood Farm Wag (33/1), Cailin Saoirse (33/1), Twilight Jazz (33/1)

MAKALU might be able to add to last month's C&D classified success. Copper Mountain has a win and close second to her name over C&D this year and is an obvious danger. Star of St James is another who knows where the winning post is here and would be a threat to all if reviving with Silvestre de Sousa taking over the reins from a 7 lb claimer.
