Forecasts

War Hero (7/4), Eglish (3/1), Woodrow (7/2), Rocky Dreams (7/1), Hero Of The Hour (10/1), Caesar's Comet (11/1), Royal Hideaway (28/1), Alhajjaj (40/1), Tom Dooley (125/1), Una Vis (150/1)

WAR HERO posted a pretty useful effort to win a C&D handicap earlier in the year and ought to take a good deal of stopping with his sights lowered. Woodrow, a C&D maiden winner in January, and Eglish can battle it out for the forecast spot.
