Forecasts

Herons Nest (11/4), Like Sugar (7/2), Black Medick (9/2), Cashel (5/1), Violet's Lads (15/2), Confrerie (8/1), Amor Fati (25/1), Stopdworldnletmeof (40/1), Art Of America (50/1)

BLACK MEDICK has done well on the AW this winter and it was another good effort from a poor draw when third at Lingfield last time. She remains of interest off this sort of mark and gets the nod over Herons Nest and Confrerie.
