Forecasts

Laser Focus (5/4), Basilette (10/3), Imperial Cult (10/1), Gilbert (10/1), Rita Rana (11/1), Fullforward (11/1), Largo Bay (14/1), Big Jimbo (14/1), Iconic Mover (18/1), Martin Spirit (33/1), Blondelle (100/1), Eaux De Vie (125/1)

LASER FOCUS drew clear in a manner of one capable of following up under a penalty at Windsor last week, so there's no real urge to take him on. Basilette seems likely to go well again, while Largo Bay is better judged on his previous form having raced wider than ideal on his most recent outing.
