Forecasts

Sea The Shells (2/1), Rain Gauge (3/1), Percy Willis (3/1), The Guvnor (5/1), Justicialism (5/1), Saveatree (12/1), Reverential (14/1), Rumi (18/1), Countessa (22/1), Act Naturally (28/1), Treenkeel Tiger (125/1), Golden Ridge (250/1), Lockdown Lass (250/1)

PERCY WILLIS caught the eye on his recent return to action at Kempton and can build on that and strike at the fourth time of asking. Rain Gauge showed plenty of ability when third on his C&D debut a month ago and can push Eve Johnson Houghton's charge the closest unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of Mark Johnston newcomer Sea The Shells.
