Forecasts

Pagan (6/4), Verreaux Eagle (3/1), The Thin Blue Line (7/2), Et Tu Brute (17/2), Macho Pride (12/1), Runninwild (20/1), Bannow (33/1)

PAGAN looked a useful prospect when only just denied in a Yarmouth maiden last time and this looks an excellent opportunity for him. Et Tu Brute and The Thin Blue Line can fill the places.
