Forecasts

Charlie Malone (11/4), Single File (7/2), Guerra (9/2), The Charioteer (5/1), Hawk Circle (11/2), Bridgerton (15/2), Russian Empire (8/1), Admiral's Ransom (14/1), Meeneera (16/1), King Of Seville (28/1), Jaquar Cat (33/1)

SINGLE FILE showed much improved form last time compared to the run before and will be hard to beat. Meeneera is probably the toughest threat, while Hawk Circle is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
