Forecasts

Emblem Empire (8/11), United Front (13/8), Arriviste (14/1), Petite Jack (22/1)

EMBLEM EMPIRE is improving fast, making short work of defying a penalty at Chelmsford, and this smart prospect can defy an opening mark of 93. United Front was headed only close home at Kempton on Monday and rates the main threat if turned out quickly.
