Forecasts

I'm Watching You (4/1), The Daley Express (9/2), Mister Bluebird (5/1), Handytalk (5/1), Holbache (8/1), Edge Of The Bay (17/2), Brandy Station (9/1), Secretfact (14/1), Spurofthemoment (22/1), Red Walls (33/1), Symbol of Hope (40/1)

I'M WATCHING YOU has slipped to a good mark and served notice that he's ready to capitalise when second at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, so he gets the nod ahead of Mister Bluebird, who arrives on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts. Holbache is another one to consider.
