Forecasts

Trumps Express (15/8), Jack's Jamboree (7/2), Buttercup (9/2), Twice The Secret (8/1), Cashing In (17/2), A Foreign Affair (12/1), My Lord And Master (14/1), V V Power (14/1), Romanee Conti (18/1), Royal Welcome (20/1), Africanroyaljewel (33/1)

TRUMPS EXPRESS was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but looks worth trusting this time. Buttercup can emerge best of the rest, while Twice The Secret is another to come into the reckoning.
