Forecasts

Perthshire (11/10), Hooflepuff (11/2), Power On (11/2), Financial Conduct (15/2), Villanelle (8/1), Lunar Shadow (10/1), Gustave Aitch (40/1)

PERTHSHIRE pulled nicely clear with another 3-y-o over C&D 18 days ago and is a very appealing candidate taking on his elders. Lunar Shadow is probably the main threat, with Power On having to prove his stamina for this far.
