Forecasts

Truth In Jest (5/2), General Sago (16/5), Impeller (10/3), Cooperation (7/2), Copper Queen (8/1), Iris Dancer (12/1), Tom's Reign Beau (18/1)

A few with chances but IMPELLER went down only narrowly at Pontefract last week and looks the way to go here off an attractive mark. Truth In Jest rates the obvious threat in his hat-trick bid, with Cooperation another well worth considering now he has his sights lowered.
