Forecasts

Scale Force (13/8), Drakefell (9/2), Slowmo (11/2), Indian Pursuit (13/2), Longroom (8/1), Lorna Cole (9/1), It Must Be Faith (16/1)

SLOWMO has done most of his racing this winter on Southwell's fibresand but is equally as at home on this tapeta surface and can return to winning ways from his handy inside draw. Scale Force leaves the impression he may be building up to something and can provide the chief threat ahead of John Quinn's Indian Pursuit.
