Forecasts

Defence Treaty (7/2), Soaring Star (9/2), Katheefa (9/2), Legal Reform (9/1), Custard The Dragon (10/1), Parallel World (14/1), Erich Bloch (16/1), Motawaafeq (16/1), Praxeology (18/1), Equidae (18/1), Wrath Of Hector (18/1), Bond Angel (20/1), Ugo Gregory (22/1), Ballyvil (200/1)

CUSTARD THE DRAGON has gone up 5 lb for last month's C&D win but he scored off a higher mark last year and may be up to notching a ninth fibresand success. Defence Treaty, Katheefa and Legal Reform head the dangers in a competitive affair.
