Forecasts

Chopsticks (7/2), Sarmiento Power (4/1), Captain Hanley (9/2), Ms Messi (13/2), Marians Gal (8/1), Glyde Ranger (10/1), Just Another Eagle (12/1), Tomahawk King (12/1), Waystar (14/1), Can I Kiss You (22/1), Felicity Smoak (28/1), Sporting Aclaim (33/1), Sosperi (40/1), Oranzona (40/1)

GLYDE RANGER should prove well suited by this return to 1m4f so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of fellow C&D scorer Waystar. Marians Gal is weighted to have a big say and can't be discounted either along with Felicity Smoak and Can I Kiss You.
