Forecasts

Giorgio M (3/1), Judgment Call (4/1), Angel Of England (9/2), Rory (6/1), Rapido Girl (13/2), Monhammer (12/1), Petra Celera (16/1), B Associates (18/1), Ahamoment (18/1), Fletchers Dream (33/1)

PETRA CELERA returned to winning ways at Thirsk earlier this month and remains on a workable mark. She can follow up. Giorgio M and Rory rate the principal dangers.
