Forecasts

Earlofthecotswolds (4/9), Thundersquall (9/4), Mohassana (10/1), Satanic Moon (16/1), Fighting Poet (66/1), Spirit Of Jacob (66/1), Urneyman (80/1), Bricklagger (125/1), Zamarkhan (150/1)

Useful-hurdler EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS proved himself to be just as good on the Flat when placed in a couple of class 2 events and this looks an excellent opportunity. Thundersquall is bred in the purple and should improve on his debut run over C&D earlier this month.
