Forecasts

Regal Mirage (11/4), Lady Reset (4/1), Bit Of A Quirke (4/1), Billy Roberts (5/1), Spiritofthenorth (11/2), Zihaam (6/1), Puckle (8/1), Hector's Here (18/1)

BILLY ROBERTS has been shaping up well of late so he's taken to strike. Hat-trick seeker Lady Reset is still lightly raced for her age and is likely to continue in form, as is Regal Mirage, who is proving consistent.
