Forecasts

Quiz Test (10/3), Sixpack (7/2), Jabbar (6/1), Duke Of Leggagh (15/2), Scott Lang (15/2), L'Un Deux Trois (15/2), French Company (12/1), Milteye (14/1), Unterberg (18/1), Mater Matuta (25/1), Wajaaha (33/1)

A tongue tie has enabled DUKE OF LEGGAGH to get back on track this season and he can gain a deserved success. Scott Lang returns to the Flat on a good mark so has to be feared, with Sixpack a potential improver upped in trip.
