Forecasts

Sawgrass (5/2), Laser Focus (4/1), Star Delta (5/1), Twoforthegutter (6/1), Cloudy Rose (13/2), Arch Legend (7/1), Sassy Glory (14/1), Jamih (20/1), Inspiring Speeches (25/1), Mythical (33/1), Lord Warburton (66/1), Ruler Of The River (66/1)

ARCH LEGEND showed clear promise starting out for this yard over C&D 23 days ago so could be the answer off a career-low mark. Sawgrass is getting the hang of things now and remains with potential, while Star Delta is also on the upgrade judged on his second at Catterick.
