Forecasts

Solomons Judgement (5/2), Golden Claim (5/2), Headora (10/3), Always Dreaming (10/1), Dragon's Fire (11/1), Waltzing Queen (12/1), Last Mission (18/1), Publicist (20/1), Actaea (28/1), Escape (28/1)

HEADORA is still a maiden, but he may rectify that soon judged on an excellent second at Wolverhampton last month, and with the winner an impressive scorer next time, there's substance to that form. Solomons Judgement has gone up only 1 lb for his narrow Yarmouth success and is second choice, ahead of Golden Claim.
