Forecasts

Power Of States (6/4), Verify (4/1), Burano Boy (15/2), Louis Treize (10/1), Sandy Steve (10/1), For Richard (12/1), Double Reflection (16/1), War Leader (20/1), Naked Lass (22/1), Secratario (25/1), Secret Art (33/1)

LOUIS TREIZE is on a lenient mark and shaped well from further back than ideal when fourth at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. He's taken to build on that encouragement and come out on top, with handicap-debutant Naked Lass and the in-form For Richard feared most.
