Forecasts

Captain Kangaroo (6/5), Wall Of Fame (7/4), Bout Time Bobby (11/2), Flurry Yeats (9/1), Moakland (11/1), Lanziano (22/1), City Limits (28/1), Bite That (50/1), Aikenbreakinheart (50/1), Churchtown Queen (100/1), Lightning Star (125/1), Western Lad (125/1), Getaway Shivvie (150/1), Carry On Buddy (200/1), O Mio Babbino (200/1), Red Romeo (250/1), I'll Ask The Uncle (250/1)

WALL OF FAME shaped well in a hurdle prior to landing a bumper earlier in the year and is taken to improve past the more established Captain Kangaroo and provide Gordon Elliott with another winner in his comeback week. Downpatrick runner-up Bout Time Bobby may prove best of the rest.
