Forecasts

Hi Royal (1/1), Power Of Gold (10/3), Reidh (4/1), Design (11/1), Lovely Lady (20/1), Cynical (20/1), Artisan Dancer (33/1), American Oak (50/1), Boy Douglas (100/1), Epona Pas (200/1)

HI ROYAL made a very promising debut in the valuable Convivial Maiden at York last month, keeping on from a good way back, and looks sure to improve over this longer trip. He could be hard to beat. Reidh is a danger after making a good start himself at Thirsk, while Design is an interesting newcomer.
