Forecasts

Stallone (4/1), Rajmeister (4/1), Ey Up Its Jazz (11/2), Bama Lama (6/1), Navy Drums (7/1), Laertes (9/1), Hilary's Boy (10/1), Autumn Angel (14/1), Shining Crystal (14/1), Ireland's Eye (22/1), Lady Mander (25/1), Too Funky (28/1), Danzart (33/1), First Company (33/1), Katie K (50/1)

Verdict

RAJMEISTER finally opened his account at Nottingham and is taken to follow up. Navy Drums is also in top form and is feared most ahead of the returning Laertes.
