Forecasts

Locked N' Loaded (9/4), Legal Reform (3/1), Lilikoi (5/1), Back From Dubai (15/2), Rogue Star (9/1), Gracelands Girl (10/1), Thrave (14/1), Scattering (18/1), Drakeholes (20/1), Positive Force (25/1), Dr Rio (33/1), Eagle Creek (50/1)

THRAVE has dropped to 1 lb lower than when scoring at Kempton in November and might stage a revival under Oisin Murphy. Lilikoi has enjoyed a good spell lately and is feared most ahead of course specialist Back From Dubai.
