Forecasts

Blackcastle Storm (2/1), Challet (10/3), Amadeus Grey (6/1), Makyon (8/1), Red Jasper (17/2), Zlatan (10/1), Visibility (14/1), Native Silver (18/1), Nahham (66/1)

BLACKCASTLE STORM appeals as the most interesting now returning to fibresand after shaping better than the distance beaten suggests at Windsor 10 days ago. Challet is still on an upward trajectory so is well respected, with Amadeus Grey another to consider on the back of a good second over C&D.
