Forecasts

Los Angeles (4/5), Bremen (4/1), Taraj (11/2), Euphoric (6/1), Keeper's Heart (18/1)

LOS ANGELES signed off at 2yrs with a smart success in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud and can return in style for his in-form yard. Stablemate Euphoric also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of recent winners Bremen and Keeper's Heart who can fight it out for minor honours.
