Forecasts

King Of The Plains (6/4), Governor Of India (16/5), Ruling Dynasty (10/3), Cosmic Soul (5/1), Capitano (10/1), Breathless Bishop (20/1), Portraitist (125/1)

KING OF THE PLAINS wasn't beaten far at Yarmouth last week and appeals as the type to improve again. He can open his account. Ruling Dynasty and Cosmic Soul rate the principal dangers.
