Forecasts

Neapolitan (8/15), Louis Quatorze (3/1), Wonder Smile (5/1), Show Me A Hero (18/1), Wide Margin (18/1), Rose Branch (50/1), Honrado (50/1), Away Day (150/1)

LOUIS QUATORZE found a valuable sales race in France too competitive last time but can get back on track in this company. Kempton winner Neapolitan is the obvious threat under a 7 lb penalty.
