Forecasts

Ustath (9/4), Kaafy (11/4), Phantasmal (9/2), Red Bravo (17/2), Rhubarb (12/1), Zuckerberg (16/1), Wots The Wifi Code (16/1), Middlescence (18/1), Excessable (22/1), Archimedes (33/1)

USTATH has thrived since tackling fibresand and can complete the 4-timer. Kaafy is another who has benefited from the switch to this surface recently and needs respecting, along with Phantasmal, who had little go right at Newcastle last time.
