Forecasts

Show Me Show Me (11/8), Ventura Flame (11/4), James Watt (9/2), Get Boosting (6/1), Economic Crisis (15/2), The Gloaming (9/1)

Tough to split these but preference is for JAMES WATT, who, sporting first-time cheekpieces, ended a losing run that stretched back to 2018 at Ripon just over 3 weeks ago. He's taken to go in again now he's regained the winning thread. Veteran Economic Crisis has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and she may have to settle for that position again, ahead of Get Boosting.
