Forecasts

Flame Spirit (11/10), Ferensby (7/2), Totnes (5/1), Jahidin (13/2), Highlighter (11/1), Zoukster (22/1), Island Native (50/1), Mine That Ship (66/1), Raincloud (66/1), Provocateur (200/1), Dawn Mission (200/1), Genepi (250/1)

Verdict

JAHIDIN ran out an emphatic winner at Newcastle last month and looks the way to go with more improvement very much on the cards. Ferensby is feared most on the back of his good C&D second, with Flame Spirit not discounted either despite having a nine-month absence to overcome.
