Forecasts

My Mate Mozzie (4/1), Sans Bruit (5/1), Rath Gaul Hill (6/1), Petit Tonnerre (7/1), Primoz (17/2), Calico (10/1), The Folkes Tiara (10/1), General Medrano (14/1), Tommy's Oscar (16/1), Inedit Star (18/1), Hunters Yarn (22/1), Galunggung (25/1), Gunsight Ridge (28/1), Dr T J Eckleburg (28/1)

A whole host arrive with claims and it could be worth chancing one at forecast longer odds in the shape of CALICO. A winner at Cheltenham back in the autumn, Dan Skelton's 9-y-o has returned from a break in good order and appeals as being on a workable mark. My Mate Mozzie has been shaping up well himself and is feared along with last year's winner Sans Bruit, who is on an attractive mark if bouncing back. The Folkes Tiara, Primoz and Petit Tonnerre complete a lengthy shortlist.
