Forecasts

Idefix De Ciergues (5/4), Prairie Diamond (9/4), Emma Hamilton (3/1), Sister Julienne (10/3), It Had To Be Shaw (4/1), Guinessed (9/1), Brockarno (40/1)

IDEFIX DE CIERGUES was disappointing last time but he'd made a promising Rules debut prior to that and he's preferred to Sister Julienne, who is open to improvement. Prairie Diamond looks the pick of the newcomers.
