Forecasts

Six Strings (11/8), Arranmore (5/2), Detective (5/1), Rum Runner (14/1), Zoravan (14/1), Little Ted (16/1), Pacino (22/1), Willy Nilly (50/1), Bluetech (80/1)

SIX STRINGS has been resurgent upon joining his present stable, supplementing his Catterick success in fine style at Wetherby 6 days ago. He's fancied to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, while Arranmore and Detective similarly arrive in form and head up the dangers.
