Forecasts

Sympathise (9/4), Stickyourneckout (10/3), Lilandra (5/1), Fact Or Fable (8/1), Letter Of The Law (9/1), Latent Heat (9/1), Won Love (12/1), Deacs Delight (25/1), Artemisia Gentile (50/1)

Verdict

LETTER OF THE LAW did the job well under a typically positive ride when resuming winnings ways over a mile at Brighton recently and, with neither a 4 lb rise nor the drop back to 7f of any great concern, he is taken to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winners Sympathise and Fact Or Fable are feared most, in that order of preference. Also worth a mention is Irish-raider Stickyourneckout, who should benefit from the return to this trip.
