Forecasts

Los Toldos (7/4), Ghostlore (15/8), Night Horn (5/1), Tryfan (7/1), Valued (14/1), Epidavros (14/1), Normandy Vista (50/1), Greenlightforgo (80/1)

LOS TOLDOS still looked green when landing the odds at Kempton so this progressive type can defy a penalty back from a break. Ghostlore is capable of winning a novice and is a clear next best.
