Forecasts

Gracious Leader (8/13), Baroque Buoy (9/2), Etretat (8/1), Miss Dandylion (17/2), Profitman (16/1), Guns And Flowers (20/1), Blue Akoya (22/1), Mohave Dancer (40/1), Ottoman Force (80/1)

BAROQUE BUOY was disappointing on his turf debut last month but had opened his account at Wolverhampton previously and remains fairly treated. He gets the nod in the opener. Etretat and Gracious Leader rate the principal dangers.
