Forecasts

Lil Guff (15/8), Night Candle (11/2), Therehegoes (13/2), Berkshire Phoenix (15/2), Top Exhibit (8/1), Cotai Hero (9/1), Lawful Command (11/1), Roystan Girl (12/1), Bluebell Way (25/1)

Modest fare, but THEREHEGOES does at least arrive on the up, so he makes as much appeal as any of these. Berkshire Phoenix has a quirk or two but should be a factor at this level, with Lawful Command an unexposed handicap debutant.
