Forecasts

St Andrew's Castle (15/8), Merry Secret (4/1), Lucky Lucky Lucky (15/2), Hardy (8/1), Atrafan (10/1), Van Zant (12/1), Spirit Of Bowland (14/1), Eyes (14/1), Elladora (18/1), Rivas Rob Roy (18/1), Perfect Soldier (25/1), Willing To Please (33/1), Gerrots (66/1), Nazca (150/1)

ST ANDREW'S CASTLE has presumably been helped by the reapplication of cheekpieces and can strike again while the iron is hot. Hardy and Elladora head the opposition.
