Forecasts

Resumption (4/9), Progressive (5/2), Desert Emperor (7/2), Raiff (13/2), Galidermes (11/1)

RESUMPTION found the longer trip in his favour when belatedly off the mark over C&D recently and, with more to come from this galloping sort, he should be capable of following up even if this is quite a strong contest for the numbers. Progressive, unpenalised for her Wolverhampton success a week ago, is the main danger, and the likeable Desert Emperor isn't easily dismissed.
