Forecasts

Have Secret (2/1), Padishakh (4/1), Financer (11/2), Let's Dream (11/2), Arthur's Realm (10/1), Big Meeting (10/1), High Point (11/1), Touch The Moon (14/1), Titian (22/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (28/1), First View (28/1), Yorkshire Lady (66/1)

PADISHAKH made a winning start for new connections at Nottingham earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He can follow up. Let's Dream and Have Secret are feared most.
