Forecasts

Premier D'troice (9/2), Young Offender (5/1), Captain Biggles (5/1), Kilbrook (5/1), Larkbarrow Lad (6/1), Hard To Forget (9/1), Frau Georgia (9/1), Clemencia (10/1), Lord Getaway (12/1), Rocky's Treasure (14/1), Good Man Vinnie (28/1), Paris Texas (66/1)

CLEMENCIA arrives on a losing run but signalled he's ready to strike again when a good third at Hereford last month and can race off a 1 lb lower mark now (form also been franked). Top weight Kilbrook is proving a consistent sort and seems sure to have a say with Premier d'Troice also weighted to makes his mark.
