Forecasts

I Can't Remember (10/3), John Jasper (11/2), Guvenor's Choice (6/1), Spantik (13/2), Helian (13/2), Corked (7/1), My Ukulele (7/1), Thomas Cranmer (8/1), Ambassador (18/1), Hooflepuff (22/1), Breakfast (22/1), Mcalester (28/1)

MY UKULELE looks well handicapped here after winning an apprentice handicap last week, as she's due to go up to a mark of 75. She's won at this track so is proven on the surface and is still unexposed at this trip. I Can't Remember won here over further last month and is still lightly raced so should go close. Guvenor's Choice is a solid type who has strong each-way claims.
