Forecasts

Sovereign Slipper (15/8), Million Reasons (9/2), G'daay (5/1), Bobby On The Beat (8/1), Sir Hector (9/1), Rose Fandango (11/1), Capla Spirit (14/1), Clashaniska (16/1), Knockabout Queen (16/1)

SOVEREIGN SLIPPER can make life hard for himself at the stalls, but he opened his account at Kempton 3 weeks ago and is essentially better than this grade. He is therefore a confident choice to follow up, perhaps at the chief expense of Million Reasons and G'daay.
