Forecasts

Stormy Ocean (1/1), Blue Trail (10/3), Chrysos (10/3), Grand Alliance (7/1), National Charter (15/2), Illuminated (25/1), Kardinya (33/1), Quercus Robur (50/1), Urban Road (80/1), Agreeability (80/1), Barbara's Incharge (250/1)

NATIONAL CHARTER is expected to reap the benefit of a considerate introduction when a promising fourth at Lingfield a month ago and she could be the answer to what is a strong-looking novice on paper. Blue Trail and Quercus Robur catch the eye on breeding and are a couple of potential threats.
