Forecasts

Astrophysics (3/1), Rhubarb (7/2), Our Man In Havana (7/2), Coronation Cottage (7/1), Louis Treize (15/2), Liberty Bay (10/1), Fossos (16/1), Stella's Charlie (20/1), Hattie C (28/1)

ASTROPHYSICS has a 5 lb pull for a head defeat to Rhubarb in a 6f handicap here 10 days ago so he really should reverse the placings. Of the rest, Liberty Bay is well weighted if perked up by first-time cheekpieces.
