Forecasts

Desiderata (3/1), The Pug (10/3), Cryptos Dream (7/2), Strategic Fortune (4/1), Sir Laurence Graff (15/2), Pop Noodle (14/1), Mykonos St John (25/1), Trusty Scout (40/1), Possible Ambition (66/1), Dors Delight (80/1)

POP NOODLE took a step back in the right direction when third over C&D last time and he is now 5 lb lower in the weights compared to his latest run in a handicap. He shades preference ahead of Cryptos Dream, while Sir Laurence Graff and Strategic Fortune both merit respect, too.
