Forecasts

Tonal (3/1), Cinderella Man (10/3), Kessaar Power (4/1), Chloe's Courage (7/1), Monks Mead (7/1), Beautiful Dawn (15/2), First Encounter (11/1), Hock Eye The Noo (11/1), Captain Cess (18/1), Pistrucci (25/1), Poke The Bear (33/1), Zaramara (80/1), Hannahs Story (125/1)

This can go the way of CINDERELLA MAN who opened his account over C&D recently and is taken to defy a 2 lb weights rise with relatively few miles still on the clock. C&D scorer Monks Mead heads the list of dangers with Chloe's Courage, Tonal and Hock Eye The Noo in the picture too.
