Forecasts

Jay Pee M (5/2), Battle Of Ridgeway (5/1), Quornofamonday (13/2), A Wave Of The Sea (7/1), Natural Breeze (8/1), St Denis's Well (9/1), Mount Frisco (10/1), In The Trenches (12/1), Hardwired (16/1), Gondor (25/1), Elle Perfecta (40/1)

JAY PEE M has taken well to fences and can quickly resume winning ways returned to a left-handed track. A Wave of The Sea and Natural Breeze head the dangers.
