Forecasts

King's Advice (5/2), Halimi (4/1), The Grand Visir (4/1), Red Verdon (11/2), Restorer (13/2), Reshoun (13/2)

A trappy little race in which a chance is taken on the fitness of RED VERDON, as he is a very classy sort for this level if on his game. The Johnston stable is back in form so King's Advice, who has headgear fitted for just the second time, gets the nod for the forecast spot.
