Forecasts

Clotherholme (9/4), Lucky Violet (7/2), Royal Guard (11/2), French Red (13/2), Spartakos (7/1), Monaadhil (9/1), Billyfairplay (9/1), Reely Bonnie (10/1), Exchequer (12/1), Lagenda (18/1), Castlehill Retreat (40/1), Heer Me (200/1)

A modest event and a good chance for the 3-y-o ROYAL GUARD to open his account on these terms back over 7f. Clotherholme and Exchequer are feared most.
