Forecasts

Coase (9/4), Strike Red (3/1), Toussarok (7/2), Royal Advice (5/1), After John (8/1), Fendale (12/1), Billian (16/1)

COASE has improved by the run since joining David O'Meara and is fancied to open his account for his new handler now eased 1 lb in the weights. Strike Red is feared most on the back of his good Leicester second, with Toussarok appealing as the pick of the remainder.
