Forecasts

Rocket Spirit (11/4), Summer Gale (3/1), Arnacoeur (7/2), Flidais (6/1), Ferrybridge (10/1), Diamond Union (12/1), El Champo (14/1), How Decc (25/1), Zaghraf (25/1), Madhenry (50/1), Miss Carli Fay (80/1), Glas Acres (100/1), Lucks Well (100/1), Righteous Ruane (150/1), Lorand (200/1)

ROCKET SPIRIT left his previous form well behind when runner-up here last month and remains open to improvement. He can go one better. Flidais and Arnacoeur rate the principal dangers.
