Forecasts

Unforgotten (10/11), Mohaafeth (15/8), Barn Owl (13/2), Rushmore (14/1), Secret Glow (18/1), Zoom Tiger (33/1), Noble Patron (33/1), Proud And Free (80/1), Rebel Territory (100/1), Jeremiah Johnson (250/1), Aquascopic (300/1), Reeceltic (300/1)

This can go to Roger Charlton's BARN OWL, who stepped up on his first effort when finishing runner-up at Kempton back in September and could be tough to beat with further improvement on the cards. Unforgotten heads up the dangers having been held back by inexperience on debut, with Mohaafeth and Secret Glow another pair of potential improvers to consider.
