Forecasts

Defence Treaty (5/2), Queen's Course (10/3), Maysong (9/2), Model Guest (10/1), Rum Runner (10/1), Rogue Tide (10/1), Reckless Endeavour (12/1), Tyche (14/1), Messalina (22/1), Moretti (28/1), Angel Of Delight (28/1), Indian Viceroy (40/1), Deb's Delight (50/1), Magical Effect (100/1)

Preference is for DEFENCE TREATY, who returned to winning ways here last month and remains fairly treated on old form. Messalina and Rogue Tide head the list of dangers.
