Forecasts

The Piper's Call (2/1), Starborn Legend (5/2), Quinta Girl (6/1), Contrary To Law (10/1), Tide Of Fortune (12/1), Lady Moon (12/1), Ask Me Again (14/1), Trek Home (16/1), Sancerre Rock (20/1), Aestus Astevias (25/1), Highwayman (25/1), Kula Bula Boyo (25/1), Frosted Sky (33/1), Forbidden (33/1), Finika (33/1), Little Roy (33/1), Pick A Window (66/1), Niobite (66/1)

THE PIPER'S CALL's debut second in a C&D maiden last summer is very strong form and he can end his stable's barren spell on belated return. Contrary To Law shaped well on his yard debut/return here in March and is next best ahead of Quinta Girl.
