Forecasts

Twice As Likely (7/2), Manumission (9/2), Thaki (7/1), Edessann (15/2), Lets Go Lucky (8/1), Eastern Star (10/1), Jorvik Prince (11/1), Delagate The Lady (12/1), Tarseekh (12/1), The Night Watch (22/1), Catapult (40/1), Perfect Symphony (50/1)

A chance is taken on THE NIGHT WATCH who won off a mark of 80 two years ago for William Haggas. He's having just his second start for Charlie Wallis and could stage a revival at some point. Delagate The Lady should appreciate the return to polytrack and she has to be respected. Edessann is becoming well treated and he is worth considering.
