Forecasts

Peripeteia (5/4), National Question (4/1), Laudable (6/1), Odd Venture (7/1), Bamboo Bay (15/2), Never No Trouble (10/1), Bellslea (100/1), Star Of Markinch (200/1)

LAUDABLE has been below par of late but has a good chance on the pick of his form down in class. Peripeteia rates the main threat ahead of National Question.
