Forecasts

Law Of One (8/11), Francisco Bay (9/2), Mr Top Hat (13/2), Combine (15/2), Junderstand (12/1), Edmond Dantes (12/1), Culture (14/1), Ashazuri (18/1), Flat To The Max (33/1), Arctic Sea (40/1), Illustrissime (40/1), Banish (50/1), Idilico (66/1), Soldier To Follow (150/1)

LAW OF ONE showed plenty in a hot Chelmsford maiden last October and ran to a similar level on her return at Lingfield last month, just taking his time to get going. An opening mark of 75 may underestimate him and he can get the job down with improvement anticipated. Francisco Bay shaped as if still in good form last time so heads up the dangers, ahead of Mr Top Hat and Combine.
