Forecasts

William Robertson (4/6), Pray For Rain (17/2), Passage Of Power (17/2), Sun Blushed (10/1), Coin Spinner (10/1), Good Traveller (10/1), Beechamwood Boy (14/1), Ultra Magnus (14/1), Diani (14/1), Captain Bombshell (20/1), Ishnana (40/1), Proud Master (40/1)

WILLIAM ROBERTSON holds a definite advantage on form and ought to win comfortably. Sun Blushed will probably give the selection most to think about, while Ultra Magnus is another to bear in mind.
