Forecasts

Comeatchoo (15/8), Top Boy (3/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (7/2), Thegreyvtrain (6/1), Twice As Likely (6/1), Mercers (8/1), Bluella (16/1), Kyllukey (18/1), Shani (33/1), Hurricane Alert (150/1)

COMEATCHOO has a penalty to carry for Sunday's Wolverhampton win in which he was seen to very good effect, but on the flip side, he's clearly in top form and this is actually an easier band of handicap. He can follow up, perhaps at the chief expense of Hey Ho Let's Go and Twice As Likely back in trip.
