8/15

Firmly back on the up when opening chase account at Stratford (19.4f, soft) 3 weeks ago, his first start following a second wind op. Prospect of faster ground here is no great concern.

Forecasts

Forecast (8/15), Mick Pastor (11/8)

FORECAST got off the mark over fences in good style back from a break at Stratford and he looks more solid than Mick Pastor. The latter is certainly not short of ability, but he has a fair bit to prove on the back of a lacklustre display at Leicester.
