Forecasts

Pillars Of Earth (4/1), Gustave Aitch (5/1), Mystic Dragon (5/1), Voi (7/1), For Love Of Louise (17/2), Fortultous (11/1), Born To Sire (14/1), Nine Elms (14/1), Letter At Dawn (16/1), Maykir (22/1), Edgar Allan Poe (28/1), Grimsthorpe Castle (33/1), Mountrath (33/1), Prince Abu (40/1), Mint Julep (125/1)

Preference is for GUSTAVE AITCH, who shaped quite well at Wolverhampton last time and remains relatively low mileage. Maykir and For Love of Louise can also make their presence felt.
