Forecasts

A Piece Of Heaven (2/5), Gentleman Joe (5/2), Shanroe (9/2), Next Stop Paris (11/1), Redcliff Glen (80/1), Laurie Blue (80/1)

A PIECE OF HEAVEN holds the edge on form and with his yard going well he is taken to make a winning return at the chief expense of Shanroe who should take a step forward from his Down Royal sixth last time out. Gentleman Joe and Next Stop Paris can fight it out for minor honours.
