Forecasts

Garth Rockett (5/2), Equipped (9/2), Lordsbridge Boy (6/1), Album (6/1), Ghost Queen (8/1), Blessed To Empress (10/1), Dors Toyboy (11/1), Twice As Likely (16/1), Aguerooo (18/1), Last Date (25/1)

BLESSED TO EMPRESS has found her form again recently and still retains scope on old form, so she's taken to enhance an already-impressive course strike rate. Equipped and Garth Rockett are a couple of potential threats.
