Forecasts

Generation Gap (10/3), Prince Llywelyn (10/3), Muse Of Fire (5/1), Rob The Getaway (13/2), Premiumaccess (17/2), Tazka (17/2), Dog Of War (10/1), Leskinfere (10/1), Watar Allstar (16/1), My Boy James (16/1), Brandy Cross (33/1), Truckers Time (40/1), Mon Port (50/1)

A case can be made for a few but point-winner MUSE OF FIRE was still going well in front when falling four out on his fencing bow at Ludlow so is taken to confirm that promise off an unchanged mark. Tazka is without a run for over three months but still much respected on the back of her Fontwell success with the lightly-raced Prince Llywelyn also not taken lightly.
