Forecasts

Fifty Sent (11/8), Fistral Beach (3/1), Margot Robbie (3/1), Grecian God (14/1), Dumfries (14/1), Royal Justice (16/1), Bandello (22/1), Max Stripes (25/1), Lincoln's Inn (66/1)

FIFTY SENT continues to knock on the door and is likely to make another bold bid with Billy Loughnane booked. The thriving Fistral Beach is the obvious threat with the unexposed Margot Robbie another to consider.
