Forecasts

Mrs Trump (9/4), Fortunate Star (3/1), Golden Rainbow (7/2), Ifonlytheycudtalk (13/2), Astapor (8/1), Beneficiary (14/1), Lady Bouquet (14/1), Soldiers Design (14/1), Gypsy Nation (16/1), Araifjan (20/1), Blackcurrent (22/1), Desert Master (25/1), Stallone (33/1)

GOLDEN RAINBOW bounced back to form when second at Redcar 4 weeks ago and he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark. Fortunate Star and Lady Bouquet head the dangers.
