Forecasts

Society Red (9/4), Prejudice (5/2), Silver Gunn (7/2), Fair Star (11/2), Pride Of America (6/1)

SOCIETY RED had a pretty easy time of things in front when narrowly prevailing at Wolverhampton recently, but that was a higher-grade handicap than this and there's a good chance that he'll again be allowed a soft lead. This 2 lb higher mark should be within reach and he is by far the most likely winner. SIlver Gunn and Prejudice can fill the places.
