Forecasts

Egality Mans (5/4), Lifetime Ambition (13/8), Darrens Hope (4/1), Fancy Foundations (14/1), Torygraph (25/1), Mamaslittlestar (300/1)

EGALITY MANS kept the mistakes down when landing the odds in novice company 3 weeks ago and is well worth his place in Graded company. Lifetime Ambition is established as useful and seems sure to go well, with Darren's Hope also of interest.
