Forecasts

Isle of Wolves (9/4), This Ones For Fred (10/3), Lady Bryanston (10/3), Huscari (15/2), Bad Attitude (17/2), Remedium (14/1), Kanuhura (16/1), Ascot Day (66/1)

ISLE OF WOLVES is in reasonable form and this represents a drop in grade, so he's fancied to end a losing run if the race is run to suit. Huscari has been holding her form well and her stable has been amongst the winners lately, so she's regarded as the main danger ahead of This Ones For Fred.
