Forecasts

Tumbling Dice (11/10), Gun Merchant (2/1), Don't Need To Know (11/4), Clondaw Pretender (5/1), The Very Thing (8/1), Hidden Cargo (12/1)

Hard to make a compelling case for any of these but DONT NEED TO KNOW's runner-up effort at this track in March is the best piece of form on offer and he should leave his reappearance run behind. Tumbling Dice is second choice.
