Forecasts

Swinging London (10/11), Laudable (4/1), Galahad Threepwood (5/1), Annandale (10/1), Letmeseethecolts (14/1), Visitant (14/1), Three Platoon (28/1), Bamboo Bay (33/1), Maguire (100/1)

Having rattled off a hat-trick on turf this year, LAUDABLE has been shaping up quite nicely, much better than the result over C&D 3 weeks ago. In a change of headgear, he could be the answer, though Tuesday's easy Southwell winner Swinging London has to be feared if turned out quickly. Galahad Threepwood is another to note.
