Forecasts

TOMMY TAYLOR has been on a roll at Newcastle and remains well treated on his best form despite falling short in his bid for a 5-timer there last week. This is his first run at Wolverhampton and he could resume winning ways if keeping up the good work. Amber Island is respected back at 7f, while market support for Sharib should be followed.
