Forecasts

Call Me Freddie (3/1), Charlie Bit Me (18/5), Porky Rush (4/1), Da Big Fella (5/1), Lily Light Foot (11/2), Golden Glen (8/1), Cappacon (8/1), Fredastare (17/2), Whenurgoodurgood (10/1), Boro Melody (12/1), Pino Boy (18/1), Fairoffthecross (22/1), I Sea The Moon (25/1), Kemstar (50/1), King's War (66/1)

It wasn't a deep handicap that PORKY RUSH finished second in here when last seen in June but he's unexposed as a stayer and he could be the answer. Golden Glen and Call Me Freddie (starting out for a new yard) are feared most.
