Forecasts

Cloth Of Gold (4/11), Mdawi (4/1), Ruling Master (5/1), Captain Robert (7/1), Vilaine Verlaine (11/1), Reload (33/1), Crimson Velvet (150/1), Expect Anything (150/1)

CLOTH OF GOLD has the best form and should be able to see off stablemate Mdawi, who has the potential for better. Captain Robert makes appeal on pedigree and is one to note first time out.
