Forecasts

Ustath (4/1), Pull Harder Con (4/1), Excessable (11/2), Album (13/2), Turanga Leela (13/2), Samovar (15/2), Scale Force (11/1), Leapers Wood (14/1), Moveonup (14/1)

PULL HARDER CON is proven on the surface, unlike fellow hat-trick-seeker Turanga Leela, and is taken to strike again. Samovar will be winning again here soon off his current mark and is well worth considering.
