Forecasts

Sirwilliamwallace (6/4), Uncle Alastair (11/4), Milvale (7/2), Kalaharry (5/1), Schmidt (25/1)

KALAHARRY caught the eye over an inadequate trip at Carlisle last time and is fancied to open his account over fences. Sirwilliamwallace looks the obvious danger. although a market move for the long-absent Uncle Alastair could prove significant.
