Forecasts

Zambales (4/1), Karazhal (4/1), Nyman (15/2), Wizard Of Odds (15/2), Sir Jeremy (17/2), Shimmy Jimmy (9/1), King Thistle (12/1), No Return (14/1), Green Brothers (14/1), Kahu (14/1), Moonhall Church (16/1), Roaming Eyes (20/1), Irish Acclamation (22/1), Edergole's Angel (33/1), Cala Margarida (50/1)

KARAZHAL improved markedly from his debut to score here last time and the longer trip should be in his favour, so he gets the nod over Zambales, who was beaten narrowly last time. Wizard of Odds also has some potential.
