Forecasts

Copper And Five (9/4), Powerful Response (10/3), Poet's Dawn (7/1), Bird Of Play (8/1), Tacitus (8/1), Premiership (8/1), Loom Large (11/1), Forward Flight (12/1), Fifty Sent (16/1), Rievaulx Raver (22/1), Motarajel (25/1), Starshot (40/1)

PREMIERSHIP has already had a productive season and, now back over his ideal trip, a fourth win may well be forthcoming. Copper And Five and Fifty Sent are potential dangers.
