Forecasts

Tracy's Princess (11/10), Fulliautomatix (11/2), Caruso (13/2), The Hound (15/2), Covert Operator (15/2), Captain Persia (15/2), Love Bite (16/1), Duke Of Fire (20/1), Great Times (28/1), Johnny Chifamba (33/1), Equerry (40/1)

CAPTAIN PERSIA continues to run creditably and is just about the pick in this line up. Covert Operator is another who should take a hand, while Caruso might well have a say too.
