Forecasts

Emtinan (9/4), Glory Of The Seas (3/1), Heraldry (11/2), Leonato (11/2), Be Patient (11/1), Norman Invasion (12/1), Boilermaker (18/1), Roker Roar (20/1), Fans Favourite (33/1), Turtle Reef (50/1)

EMTINAN shaped well under a patient ride when a debut fifth at York and this son of Lope De Vega can take a sizeable step forward to get off the mark and thwart interesting newcomers Heraldry and Glory Of The Seas who are both in good hands and need monitoring in the betting.
