11/1

Forecasts

Futuristic (11/10), Power Over Me (16/5), Diamond Dougal (7/1), Gabrial The Devil (8/1), Treacherous (11/1), Ledham (16/1), Concierge (28/1)

FUTURISTIC has returned from over a year off in fine fettle this winter and he can follow up his C&D win last month. Power Over Me has thrived since the turn of the year and he will be the biggest danger off a 5 lb higher mark than his C&D win last time. Concierge may prove best of the remainder.
