Forecasts

Lord Cherry (11/4), Written Broadcast (10/3), Kodebreaker (11/2), Royal Debut (13/2), Back From Dubai (7/1), Elladora (11/1), Fact Or Fable (12/1), Stallone (14/1), Gonzaga (14/1), Far From A Ruby (40/1), Otto Oyl (40/1), Bobby Dalton (40/1), Sun Rising (80/1)

WRITTEN BROADCAST really has thrived on his racing this year and might be good for another win. Elladora made a good return to action at Newcastle recently and is feared most ahead of Lord Cherry, who boasts a 2-2 C&D record.
