Forecasts

Poppycock (13/8), Orus Apollo (7/2), Twice The Act (9/2), Ration My Passion (7/1), Ideal Wolff (15/2), Chevron (17/2), French Leave (14/1), Irish Dame (16/1), Laconia (25/1), Attentive (25/1), Western Dance (28/1)

POPPYCOCK looks to have marginally the best credentials but this is an open race. Twice The Act and Ration My Passion head up the dangers.
