Forecasts

Signal Twenty Nine (7/2), Reeceltic (9/2), Glencora (9/2), Almost You (11/2), Foresee (10/1), Gold Souk (10/1), Angels Roc (11/1), Savitar (11/1), Cafe Milano (12/1), Estrela Star (14/1), Global Agreement (14/1), Pillars Of Earth (18/1), Ruskin Red (18/1), Ebqaa (50/1), Tilsworth Lukey (150/1), Chandon Elysees (150/1)

REECELTIC has found improvement since going handicapping and is still relatively unexposed on the Flat. He is fancied to open his account. Glencora and Foresee look the likeliest dangers.
