Forecasts

White Turf (5/2), Harry The Norseman (10/3), Chess Player (4/1), Mi Laddo (11/2), African Sun (7/1), Red Ochre (8/1), Sweet Flora (10/1), Gale Force One (10/1), Felicissimus (14/1), Lady Babs (16/1), Shabba Dada Do (28/1)

WHITE TURF has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to open his account on the back of his good Uttoxeter third behind Harry The Norseman. In-form Mi Laddo rates an obvious threat.
