Forecasts

Nathanael Greene (85/40), Echo Chamber (4/1), Lost Gold (9/2), Rendition (6/1), Ajero (13/2), Luminous Light (15/2), Olympic Dream (20/1), Earth Giant (33/1), Trojan Truth (40/1)

Plenty with potential here, including NATHANAEL GREENE, who is in good hands and found significant improvement when third at Lingfield in November. Lost Gold and Luminous Light are feared most.
