Forecasts

Galileo Glass (4/1), My Opinion (9/2), Cheese The One (11/2), Tea Garden (13/2), Bold Territories (7/1), White Umbrella (8/1), Boujee Gold (10/1), Galton (11/1), Latent Heat (18/1), Macon Belle (33/1), Red Alert (50/1)

MY OPINION signalled he is ready to open his account when a very good second to Cheese The One over C&D last time and can turn the tables on 2 lb better terms here. Stella Barclay's filly still rates the main threat, although both White Umbrella and Tea Garden need factoring in too.
