Forecasts

Grain Of Sense (3/1), Single (9/2), Master Milliner (11/2), Chiave Di Volta (15/2), Cadeau D'Or (15/2), Gentleman At Arms (8/1), Murhib (10/1), Hawridge Storm (14/1), Gauntlet (16/1), Russian Rumour (25/1), Seaborn (33/1), Quita (33/1), Beat The Heat (50/1), Final Choice (125/1)

SINGLE is only 3 lb higher than when winning at Yarmouth ten days ago. She's won over this C&D and should go very close in her bid to get the double up. Master Milliner is in search of a hat-trick and he has to be taken seriously. Cadeau d'Or could improve and is worth each-way consideration.
