Forecasts

Petticoat Rule (9/4), David Garrick (3/1), Rockview Empress (7/2), Zofar Zogood (4/1), Paradiso (11/2), Shona Mea (6/1), Mccabe (17/2), Vormir (11/1), Celtic Crown (14/1), Chasing The Dawn (18/1), Hieroglyphic (20/1), Talking Tough (22/1), Law Breaker (40/1), Shabra's O B (66/1)

ZOFAR ZOGOOD keeps knocking at the door and drops into a slightly lesser grade of handicap with blinkers on for the first time, so might well have enough class to open her account at the likely expense of Rockview Empress and Petticoat Rule.
