Forecasts

On Springs (3/1), Rickety Gate (4/1), Elusive Red (13/2), Contrebasse (7/1), Be The Difference (7/1), Kiss My Face (17/2), Raddle And Hum (9/1), Coral Blue (11/1), You Some Boy (11/1), On We Go (14/1), Pistol (25/1), Ballycrystal (25/1), Amma Lord (40/1), Kitty's Cove (66/1)

Preference is for ON SPRINGS, who upped his game when sent handicapping at Hereford on his final start last season and remains low mileage. Raddle And Hum and Contrebasse can also make their presence felt.
