Forecasts

In The Breeze (2/1), Freddy Flintshire (4/1), Out Of Reason (13/2), Remedium (13/2), Percy's Lad (15/2), Bashful (10/1), Riktar (12/1), Parish Academy (20/1), Up Before Dawn (40/1), Rainbow Sign (80/1), Hestercombe (125/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high, so a chance is taken on REMEDIUM, seemingly the choice of Sean Levey, to make a winning debut. In The Breeze should have learnt plenty from his initial effort when fifth at Goodwood a fortnight ago so gets the vote for second, ahead of the selection's stablemate Riktar and Bashful.
