Forecasts

Akkadian Thunder (11/4), Apotheosis (5/1), Two Tribes (6/1), Superposition (7/1), Rhythm Master (15/2), Billyjoh (9/1), Eldrickjones (9/1), Warm Spell (12/1), Cruyff Turn (14/1), Havana Blue (18/1), Glenfinnan (22/1), Sailthisshipalone (25/1), Lord Bertie (33/1), Rock Walk (33/1), Grand Traverse (33/1)

It's fair to say that TWO TRIBES has become expensive to follow, but he has resumed this season with a couple of solid efforts in strong handicaps and, with this step up to 7f a good move, he is taken to belatedly add to his 2-y-o success. If Superposition is able to reproduce something akin to his improved all-weather form now back on turf he will surely have a say in the finish. Akkadian Thunder is on a workable mark and he is also shortlisted, along with Apotheosis and Billyjoh.
