Forecasts

Rogue Legend (4/6), Baker Blue (5/1), Monte Vista (7/1), Raphello (12/1), Sovereign Thought (14/1), Invincible Rocket (16/1), Believe In Glory (18/1), Soulful Diva (25/1), Aurora Mist (33/1), Glen And Tonic (50/1), The Right One (80/1), Offbeat (100/1), Love Bomb (150/1)

ROGUE LEGEND was very well backed and made an encouraging start amidst obvious signs of greenness here a fortnight ago. He seems sure to build on that and can confirm the form with the third Raphello and fourth Believe In Glory, who can improve themselves. Invincible Rocket is an interesting newcomer.
