Forecasts

Como Park (5/4), First Emperor (11/4), Navajo Warrior (11/4), Active Duty (9/2), Theodulus (12/1), Actually (33/1), Flash Of Dawn (33/1)

Having chased home the smart Stone Age on debut. ACTIVE DUTY was disappointing back at Navan, but he's been given a break and he's fancied to get back on the up. Como Park and First Emperor head the opposition.
