Forecasts

Master Of My Fate (11/4), El Bufalo (4/1), Above (11/2), Paddy's Day (13/2), Emperor's Son (13/2), Brian The Snail (13/2), Water Of Leith (15/2), Our Absent Friends (9/1), Monks Dream (14/1), Winter Crown (14/1), Princess Karine (14/1)

The thriving MASTER OF MY FATE can win again with a good-value claimer booked. In-form veterans Brian The Snail and Above are feared most.
