Forecasts

Kitaro Kich (7/2), Kessaar Power (7/2), Edmund Ironside (11/2), Jaamir (6/1), Union Island (15/2), Glencalvie (9/1), Miss Harmony (12/1), Tea Leaf Ted (14/1), Reel Power (25/1), Summanus (33/1), Floridian (40/1), Dors Delight (66/1)

The vote goes to REEL POWER, who showed the benefit of his Brighton spin in October (first run for 13 months) when third at Kempton last time and he is appealing off the same mark. Kitaro Kich took a step back in the right direction here a fortnight ago and he is next on the list ahead of Kessaar Power and Union Island, while handicap debutant Jaamir needs a second look in the betting.
