Forecasts

Pessoa (9/2), Aspire To Glory (9/2), River Alwen (11/2), Snooze Lane (6/1), Aljezur (6/1), Valkyrja (13/2), Royal Observatory (11/1), Masterofgreygoose (12/1), Have You A Minute (14/1), Always Fearless (20/1), Value Added (33/1)

ROYAL OBSERVATORY proved suited by a switch of headgear when going in over C&D last time and can defy a 3 lb rise with the blinkers again sported here. Pessoa is weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Aspire To Glory, Valkyrja and Aljezur. Snooze Lane completes the shortlist.
