Forecasts

Strong Warrior (9/4), So Darn Hot (4/1), Master Technician (4/1), Mythical Composer (13/2), I Maximus (9/1), Rajaking (10/1), Good Banter (11/1), King Of Bears (22/1), Balzarini (33/1), Lightning Bear (80/1)

MYTHICAL COMPOSER was beaten only by a smart prospect at Doncaster last month and should go well again off the same mark. Unbeaten pair Rajaking and Strong Warrior are the obvious threat.
