Forecasts

Louis Treize (3/1), Vaunted (7/2), Milliethemollie (9/2), Savannah Smiles (5/1), Gherkin (5/1), Flagman (10/1), Roody Toody (20/1), Naughty Niall (25/1), Himawari (40/1)

LOUIS TREIZE was just touched off over C&D recently having attracted support and, if he can back that up, he could have enough to get the better of the likes of Vaunted and Gherkin, who both deserve respect.
