Forecasts

Vivacious Lady (10/3), Gallo Dell Cielo (4/1), Ranko Express (9/2), Lord Talbot (11/2), Deed Pole (13/2), Waystar (10/1), Tomahawk King (11/1), Nusra (14/1), L'immortale (14/1), Velvet And Vine (20/1), Wishes And Dreams (25/1), Together Aclaim (25/1), Pegasus Of Harry (33/1), Tastyee (50/1), A Daughtersdelight (66/1), Slowdownbarney (80/1), Wonderwalk (80/1)

RANKO EXPRESS arguably should have won under this rider here last week and can make amends over a trip he should stay. Vivacious Lady and Lord Talbot head the dangers.
