Forecasts

Fox Duty Free (8/13), Via Serendipity (7/2), Crownthorpe (7/1), War Glory (9/1), Pactolus (33/1)

FOX DUTY FREE has been a reformed character since joining this yard and can make it three course victories on the spin. Crownthorpe seems to save his best for the all-weather and shouldn't be far away after his second at Newcastle. War Glory is another that can't be ruled out.
