Forecasts

Puckle (13/8), Bit Of A Quirke (5/1), Broken Rifle (5/1), Yukon (13/2), Lexington Warfare (7/1), Billy Roberts (15/2)

BILLY ROBERTS took a step back in the right direction after 6 months off when third here 7 weeks ago and he remains on a handy mark if building on that. Puckle responded well to this headgear when scoring at Nottingham last week and is feared most under a penalty.
