Forecasts

Nations Pride (1/3), Luis Fernando (4/1), King Cabo (11/1), Looe Beach (12/1), Cavendish (33/1), Fashion Delight (200/1)

NATIONS PRIDE ran a race full of promise when second in a better race than this at Yarmouth on debut and he should have little trouble going one better. Luis Fernando is open to improvement and may pose the main threat, while King Cabo isn't a forlorn hope for all he's rather dependant on the selection fluffing his lines.
