Forecasts

Eurotiep (5/2), Recite A Prayer (5/2), Stranger Danger (9/2), Palace Storm (9/2), Pale Blue Dot (8/1), Mississippi Wine (18/1), Paddy The Wire (25/1), History Of Fashion (28/1), Rightful Mind (33/1), Meehall (40/1), Eat The Book (150/1)

EUROTIEP is probably the way to go on his return having run good races in second twice last season. Newcomer Palace Storm and Stranger Danger appeal as likely threats.
