Forecasts

De Little Engine (4/1), Elzaam's Dream (4/1), Alqaab (4/1), Tyche (7/1), Kupa River (9/1), Klopp (10/1), Kath's Lustre (11/1), Buy Me Back (12/1), Secret Potion (14/1), Swanton Blue (33/1), Astrophysics (40/1), Jordan's Chris (66/1), Ayyaamy (80/1)

BUY ME BACK started life with this yard off a mark of 79 and now lurks dangerously off a mark 14 lb lower. She has shown plenty of pace in her previous two starts and she can use that to her advantage here. Secret Potion had excuses at Kempton last time and has to be considered. Kupa River is another on a threatening handicap mark.
