Forecasts

Bad Attitude (4/1), Sulochana (4/1), Pax Britannica (11/2), Critique (7/1), Exotic Escape (17/2), Arabescato (9/1), Rhinestone Blue (12/1), Fulbeck Girl (14/1), Mystery Mac (14/1), Stealth Command (20/1), Sir I'll Chance It (25/1), Bear Attraction (66/1)

MYSTERY MAC showed more than previously in a Salisbury novice last month and could well be underestimated from an opening BHA mark of 59, so he's put forward as the answer. Fulbeck Girl leaves the impression she has a bigger performance in the locker now dropping back in trip, while Sulochana should remain competitive for all that she isn't improving with experience.
