Forecasts

Arcland (11/8), Billie Frechette (3/1), Jarvis Brook (13/2), Steps In The Sand (8/1), You Make Me Smile (9/1), Jawhary (12/1), Highland Bells (20/1), Applejack Poet (25/1), Lightning Legs (25/1), Picpoul (25/1), Jazzy Rock (33/1), Tartaraghan (33/1), Stormy Jenn (40/1), Benz (50/1), Gregorina (66/1), Tiffany Mae (66/1), Guest Star (80/1)

Having cashed in on a very lowly mark returned to the Flat, it's hard to ignore the claims of ARCLAND, who can win more races for Gavin Cromwell. Billie Frechette and Jawhary head the opposition.
