Forecasts

Tricolore (2/1), Realist (4/1), Impulsive One (4/1), Greystoke (13/2), Encounter Order (15/2), Golden Dove (18/1), Percy Willis (25/1), Ballycommon (25/1)

TRICOLORE was ultra-impressive when opening his account at Wolverhampton and, with more to come, takes marginal preference over Realist who fits a similar mould having scored in good style in a Chelmsford handicap earlier in the month. Impulsive One also warrants consideration.
