Forecasts

Signe (9/4), Grapevine (7/2), Navajo War Dance (4/1), Under Attack (5/1), Amazing Red (5/1), Threat Assessed (11/2), Hermann (7/1), Top Beak (8/1), Fleeting Visit (11/1), Zzoro (12/1), Ripoll (25/1), Balmoral Castle (25/1)

Signe arrives here in a bid to defend her 100% record and the sole filly in the line-up has been impressive on her two starts to date but it's THREAT ASSESSED who is the one that could be capable of improvement if he gets his fast ground. Hermann looks like an each-way player off a fair looking handicap mark.
