Forecasts

Apollo One (3/1), Aramis Grey (9/2), Tiger Crusade (9/2), Strike Red (9/1), Emperor Spirit (11/1), Tyger Bay (12/1), Aberama Gold (12/1), Tomouh (12/1), Treacherous (16/1), King Of Tonga (25/1), Tolstoy (33/1)

ARAMIS GREY looked to have a bit in hand at Chelmsford last time so a 2 lb nudge may not prevent her following up. Tyger Bay has a fine C&D record and is mcuh respected on the back of a good run on turf last week. Apollo One is starting to look well handicapped and is another who could have a part to play.
