Forecasts

Matata (11/10), Calico (7/4), Gunsight Ridge (5/1), Third Time Lucki (12/1)

CALICO and Matata fought out a good finish over C&D last month and could hold sway once more, with Dan Skelton's 8-y-o again taken to come out on top. Olly Murphy's consistent Gunsight Ridge needs considering too though on his return after breathing surgery.
