Forecasts

Not Available (13/8), Low Sun (11/4), Fred The Foot (4/1), Spades Are Trumps (5/1), Jammy George (8/1), Desire De Joie (10/1), Night Combat (12/1), Sullane Hill (12/1), Metal Man (14/1), Crobally Boy (25/1), Rule Of June (40/1), Captain Jimmy (100/1), Mick Mixy (250/1), Justice Jim (300/1)

LOW SUN offered something to work on when third on his chasing debut here last month and appeals as the type to do better with that under his belt, so he's put forward as the answer. Not available and Fred The Foot are considered the main threats.
