Forecasts

Ik's Man (3/1), Hands Of Gold (10/3), Purse Price (7/2), Ellis Boyd Redding (5/1), Mister Bo (6/1), Della Casa Lunga (15/2), Yewood (66/1), Man After Midnight (66/1)

This stiffer test should suit PURSE PRICE so she's taken to open her account at the main expense of stablemate Ellis Boyd Redding and Ik's Man.
