Forecasts

Uther Pendragon (9/4), Calcutta Dream (5/2), Sunset In Paris (9/2), Silver Bubble (8/1), Moon Over The Sea (10/1), Private Bryan (12/1), Laurentia (18/1), Brazen Arrow (25/1), The Lion Strikes (28/1), Royal Design (150/1)

CALCUTTA DREAM shaped better than the bare result returning from 4 months off when fifth at Wolverhampton and has a good chance on these terms if building on that. Sunset In Paris and Uther Pendragon are others to consider.
