Forecasts

Endowed (11/8), Touchwood (5/2), Kendergarten Kop (4/1), Sands Of Time (15/2), Media Blitz (18/1)

A case can be made for most of these but ENDOWED has been running consistently without winning and he's been found a good opportunity to end his losing run. Second here earlier in the month, he should be able to go one better today. Touchwood shed his maiden tag at Nottingham last month and he's run well here before so can't be ruled out. Media Blitz is of some interest on handicap debut too.
