11/2

Forecasts

Medicine Jack (11/4), Tomily (4/1), Look Out Louis (9/2), I Am The Secret (11/2), Tathmeen (11/2), Fancy Footings (7/1), Lucky Lodge (17/2), Fendale (11/1), Reckless Endeavour (16/1)

TOMILY represents a yard that has been showing better signs of late and he ran his best race for some time when a close-up third over C&D 11 days ago. Undoubtedly on a good mark on the pick of his form, he could be worth chancing to confirm the promise of that run. Look Out Louis also caught the eye latest and is feared, along with Medicine Jack and Fendale.
