Forecasts

Merry Secret (6/4), Belle Rouge (7/4), Sea Of Charm (8/1), Ronan Accuser (9/1), Galeophobia (10/1), Isla Vista (14/1)

MERRY SECRET has been very consistent on polytrack for this yard and can gain a third victory up in trip under a promising apprentice. Galeophobia ran creditably in a competitive race at Newcastle last time and he should be the main danger. Any market support for Belle Rouge would be interesting.
