Forecasts

STARFIGHTER has been far from disgraced since joining this yard and is lurking on a dangerous looking mark. He is chanced to gain a second career victory. One To Go was only just touched off over C&D last time and should get involved once again. Pink Jazz is in fine form and can't be discounted either.
