Forecasts

Eagles Dare (11/4), Artisan Bleu (10/3), Corbulo (4/1), Tease And Seize (5/1), Kalma (10/1), Red Glory (12/1), Scots Gold (18/1), This Ones For Fred (25/1), Sognatore (40/1), Desert Cat (66/1), Gone Mod (80/1)

ARTISAN BLEU has thrived of late and it's worth taking a chance that she can continue the good work back on turf. Kalma caught the eye on her handicap debut and can provide the chief threat ahead of the returning Eagles Dare, who once again has the services of Oisin Murphy.
