Forecasts

Star Of St Louis (9/4), Meadram (3/1), Come On John (5/1), Jumeira Vision (6/1), Ermin Street (7/1), Sparkling Spirit (14/1), Nine Elms (16/1), Chelsea Annie (25/1), Brown Mouse (28/1), Pink Walls (200/1)

COME ON JOHN overcame a pace bias and trouble in running to score over C&D 11 days ago and he remains well treated on old form, so he's taken to get the better of Star of St Louis, who is on the up for his current stable. Meadram is another one to consider.
