Forecasts

Cumulonimbus (9/4), Ajero (9/2), Zealot (9/2), Lightening Company (6/1), Wootton'sun (8/1), Sun King (17/2), Marie's Diamond (11/1), Piecederesistance (12/1), Zealandia (12/1), Reel Rosie (22/1), Baryshnikov (25/1), Dark Moon Rising (28/1), Kenzai Warrior (33/1)

Verdict

CUMULONIMBUS was steadily progressive in turf handicaps last autumn and might prove the answer to this tricky-looking handicap. Zealot is an obvious danger if able to transfer this winter's AW improvement to the grass. Kenzai Warrior, who is starting to look well handicapped, and George Boughey's Sun King are others who could go well.
