Forecasts

Billie Frechette (9/4), Koniag (10/3), Imperial Miss (7/1), Just Another Eagle (7/1), Spinning Web (15/2), Jawhary (14/1), Miss Glenville (14/1), Esticky End (16/1), Obama Army (18/1), Miami Sunshine (22/1), Is She Now (28/1), Darkened (33/1), Highland King (33/1), Sing A New Song (33/1), Uberrima Fides (33/1), Pride Of Hawridge (40/1), Quiet Desire (125/1)

BILLIE FRECHETTE shaped best when a neck second to Just Another Eagle over C&D a fortnight and from 2 lb better off, is fancied to reverse the form. Of the rest, Koniag seems very likely to give his running.
