Forecasts

Eyes (11/4), Nibras Shadow (7/2), Enderman (7/2), Class Clown (7/1), Patsy Fagan (15/2), Royal Advice (12/1), Somewhere Secret (16/1), Khazaf (25/1), Dick Datchery (28/1), Blades Equal (66/1), Deconso (100/1)

EYES has been knocking on the door of late and whilst her slow starts are a concern, coming from off the pace is often not a negative at this venue. She deserves to end her losing run and makes most appeal. Patsy Fagan has only been raised 1 lb for his Pontefract win and should go close. Nibras Shadow is next on the list.
