Forecasts

News At Ten (5/4), Flagstaff Gardens (11/2), Tabuk (8/1), Rhythm And Tyne (17/2), Rio Largo (11/1), Teutates (14/1), Signatory (14/1), Cherokee Run (14/1), Mehsham (14/1), Jazz Forever (18/1), He Knows When (33/1), Ahsuruknowurself (40/1), Red Shield (100/1), Harrison Meadows (150/1)

NEWS AT TEN very much appeals as the type to have benefited from a gelding operation since last seen, so he's fancied to get off the mark at the third attempt. Flagstaff Gardens is a newcomer to note, while Tabuk and Rio Largo are others worthy of a mention.
