Forecasts

Harlow (11/10), Subliminal (9/2), Yuften (9/2), Epic Challenge (13/2), Contingency Fee (14/1), Prismatic (14/1)

HARLOW often gives his running so makes the most appeal on these terms with the drop back in trip in his favour. It wasn't long ago that Yuften was showing fairly useful form and he rates the main threat.
