Forecasts

Crassus (3/1), Ivy Avenue (6/1), Matilda With Me (8/1), Vita Veritas (8/1), Malbas (9/1), Spruce Meadows (9/1), Barometer (10/1), Self Assessed (10/1), Prime Chief (11/1), Andratx (12/1), Djasek (12/1), Lighthouse Lady (14/1), Rockview Roman (16/1), Lady Georgie (16/1), Willywampus (22/1), Ferrum (40/1), Allora Yeats (40/1), Falvetti (80/1)

CRASSUS has been a bit disappointing over hurdles of late but it's hard to knock his Flat record and he has been given every chance by the assessor. Ivy Avenue will likely give it another good go, with Djasek another to consider.
