Forecasts

Today Please (7/4), Weyburn (2/1), Ulis De Vassy (9/4), Royal Act (10/1), L'Es Fremantle (66/1)

ULIS DE VASSY was a slight disappointment when third last time out but he can bounce back to form having won over C&D on his penultimate outing. The application of cheekpieces can see Weyburn claim second in this opening contest while Today Please, who showed signs of a return to form last time out can claim third under top weight.
