Forecasts

Trevie Fountain (10/3), Million Reasons (7/2), The Game Of Life (9/2), Western Music (5/1), Laurentia (7/1), Roundel (9/1), Rockesbury (14/1), Lady Monica (18/1), Kraka (20/1), Harry Haafhd (50/1), Deeds Not Words (100/1), Sparkling Diamond (150/1)

An uninspiring closing contest which can go the way of WESTERN MUSIC. David Barron's charge produced her best effort to date when third on return at Southwell last month and she can open her account here. Million Reasons is a long-standing maiden but he should make his presence felt, with The Game of Life completing the shortlist.
