Forecasts

Marketa (5/2), Demanding Dave (11/4), Mauritius Kestrel (7/2), Rattlesnake (13/2), Worldly (7/1), Dame Of Trix (12/1), Kaalvoet (16/1), Victor Hugo (16/1), Heritage Ridge (25/1), Amen Corner (25/1)

MARKETA makes plenty of appeal. Rattlesnake will probably give the selection most to think about, while Demanding Dave can fight it out for minor honours.
