Evening Story²⁵

Forecasts

Heathen (9/4), Bohemian Breeze (9/4), Evening Story (6/1), Le Rouge Chinois (7/1), Now Then Wendy (17/2), Sid's Annie (12/1), Percy Willis (12/1), St Just In Time (12/1), Femme Patronne (20/1), Pledge Of Honour (22/1)

Preference is for EVENING STORY, who is still feasibly treated and can be forgiven her latest run over a shorter trip at Newcastle. Le Rouge Chinois and Bohemian Breeze should also go well.
