Forecasts

Tigre du Terre (1/9), Gift Of Raaj (7/2), Mokhles (5/1), Esme Kate (25/1), Holy Wings (33/1), Bigdabog (40/1), Teatro (40/1), Unique Company (100/1)

Several of these may do better when switched to handicap company so this looks a great opportunity for TIGRE DU TERRE to return to winning ways after good efforts against much classier sorts. Gift Of Raaj is progressing and may give him most to do, while Mokhles can claim minor honours.
