Forecasts

Harrogate (5/4), Boudica Bay (16/5), Gorgeous Gobolina (11/2), Red Stripes (7/1), De Latour (7/1), Requiems Dream (8/1), Bluella (9/1), Tiltilys Rock (20/1), Moveonup (20/1), Newgate Angel (33/1), Corton Lass (50/1)

HARROGATE is threatening to come good soon, and having run well when second on just his third start for this yard over C&D a fortnight ago, can go one better and register a first victory for some time. Stablemate Requiems Dream could be interesting, while the tough Red Stripes could figure returned to turf.
