Forecasts

Rene Artois (6/4), Vina Sena (16/5), Action Motion (11/2), Master Copy (9/1), The Churchill Lad (10/1), Hey Kameir (10/1), Blues Emperor (12/1), Riccardi Medici (14/1), Westernesse (18/1), Green Force (20/1), Cerro Vanguardia (33/1), Cherub Rock (40/1), Lex Maxima (66/1), Toro Roho (125/1), Supreme Law (150/1), Gudrun Genberg (150/1)

RENE ARTOIS is the clear form pick and might well have the run of the race so, despite the presence of a couple of interesting newcomes in Blues Emperor and The Churchill Lad, he's taken to open his account at the fourth time of asking.
