Forecasts

Frere Jacques (7/4), Olympian Gold (7/4), Beach Walker (11/4), Trip To Peace (9/1), Copper Plate (16/1), Parabellum (18/1), Down Town Cody (18/1), Afterburn (25/1), Rock My Boat (66/1), King Of Silk (80/1), Lord Kelvin (80/1), Talkoftheheights (80/1)

OLYMPIAN GOLD could have more to give and should give backers a good run for their money. Trip To Peace could give the selection most to think about, while Beach Walker comes into calculations for minor honours.
