Forecasts

Palace Green (6/4), Littlewood (4/1), Artisan (9/2), Illuminate (8/1), Custom Made (17/2), Village Deep (10/1), Kings Cup (18/1), French Leave (18/1), Poppycock (28/1), Tyrells Bullet (33/1), Numerical (40/1), Ideal Man (50/1), Tough Choice (50/1), Flattley (66/1)

PALACE GREEN couldn't meet market expectations last time, but looks worth another chance. Illuminate seems the leading threat, while Littlewood merits respect also.
