Forecasts

Invincible Larne (7/4), Kath's Lustre (13/2), Martineo (13/2), Excellent George (7/1), Gold Brocade (8/1), Lethal Angel (8/1), Pull Harder Con (17/2), Inaam (11/1), Equipped (14/1), King Robert (20/1), Big Impact (22/1), Cool Strutter (50/1), Thoughtfully (80/1), Lapses Linguae (150/1)

KATH'S LUSTRE saves her best for Chelmsford (four of her five career wins have come here) and she returned to form at Wolverhampton last time. She should take all the beating despite being raised 2 lb for that run. Gold Brocade can be forgiven a poor run at Southwell and she won't be far away. Invincible Larne is reliable and he should play a part.
