Forecasts

Zarzyni (7/2), Only Spoofing (9/2), Knicks (6/1), Our Absent Friends (13/2), Balon D'or (15/2), Profitable Edge (11/1), Moonstone Boy (12/1), Eternal Sunshine (12/1), Arecibo (12/1), Water Of Leith (20/1), Classy Al (33/1), Zaphea (80/1)

A wide-open sprint to end the card but the suggestion is ZARZYNI, who looked unlucky not to win when finishing hot on the heels of the reopposing Only Spoofing and Knicks over C&D last Sunday. That pair are expected to be in the mix again, with Eternal Sunshine and the reappearing Moonstone Boy another couple worthy of a mention, too.
