Forecasts

Must Be Royale (13/8), Ford Madox Brown (2/1), Eternal Glory (13/2), Silks Pass (7/1), Blame Culture (12/1), Lucia Joy (16/1), Days Like This (50/1), Initiate (80/1)

Verdict

FORD MADOX BROWN benefited from the return to 7f when third over C&D 3 weeks ago and he won't need to step up much from that to open his account for Stuart Williams. Must Be Royale ran well on his only previous try on this surface, so he's feared most, with Eternal Glory likely to make an impact if allowed to bowl along in front.

  3. Eternal Glory13/2
