Forecasts

Cacique Royale (10/11), Mzuri (11/2), Maid In Manhattan (6/1), Papal Motel (7/1), Match My Fire (8/1), Miro (8/1), Torthai An Ghra (9/1), Specific Gravity (10/1), Carol's Return (20/1), Dark Amber (20/1), British Art (25/1)

If Tuesday's exertions have not left any marks, CACIQUE ROYALE can take advantage of a quick reappearance following a win in a Naas 1m4f handicap earlier in the week and can see off the interest from Maid In Manhattan, Papal Motel and the Gordon Elliott-trained Miro who are capable of hitting the frame here.
