Forecasts

Saracen Head (9/4), Engelbert (11/4), Fox Master (10/3), Great State (4/1), Quintus Arrius (15/2), Eccles Street (40/1), Bolt From The Blue (150/1), Heart Of Sofia (150/1), Beast Of Burden (250/1), Bessah (250/1), Milky Teal (250/1)

GREAT STATE built on his encouraging debut effort when scoring at Wolverhampton in November and remains open to improvement. He can follow up. Engelbert and Fox Master look the likeliest dangers.
