Forecasts

River Wharfe (2/1), Rovinia (11/4), Aspire To Glory (5/1), First Encounter (8/1), Rainbow Sign (11/1), Celebrating Ethel (11/1), Sangara (18/1), Skyolaire (25/1), Rock Master (33/1)

ROVINIA is going through a good spell at present and she appeals as the most solid option. River Wharfe ran better than for a while at Windsor on his most recent outing and is considered the main threat on his return to classified company. Rainbow Sign can fill the places if bouncing back from a below-par effort at Lingfield.
