Forecasts

Future Investment (11/8), Clearance (10/3), Vindolanda (4/1), Camouflaged (5/1), Champagne Terri (6/1), Sociologist (11/1), Ottonian (18/1), Arabist (18/1), Comin' Through (50/1)

Lots with chances but FUTURE INVESTMENT gets the nod as Ralph Beckett is a dab hand with stayers and this course winner gets his first chance over 2m after two very solid efforts this summer at 12f. Improving Clearance is sure to provide a stern test as he bids for a quick hat-trick, while Arabist surely has more to offer too for his new yard so is also much respected in an intriguing handicap.
