Forecasts

Hiromichi (11/10), Carpe Fortuna (5/4), Emerald Lady (7/4), Tudor (11/2)

HIROMICHI found the drop back to 7f very much in his favour when a good third over C&D and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account off the same mark. Carpe Fortuna wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Wolverhampton and is feared most now handicapping after a break.
