Forecasts

Peckham Springs (10/3), Guido Reni (7/2), Arthur's Baby (4/1), Guiri (9/2), Building Bridges (6/1), Alvaro (6/1), Frazel Express (10/1), Father Jed (14/1), Merry Poppins (14/1), Bal De Rio (18/1), Mon Storm (25/1)

GUIDO RENI has a poor strike-rate but was back to form when third over shorter here 4 weeks ago and could be worth chancing with Rachael Blackmore booked. Building Bridges and Guiri are a couple of the other more likely contenders.
