Forecasts

Tahmuras (6/4), Jumping Jupiter (3/1), Blow Your Wad (10/3), Technology (13/2), Dear Ralphy (8/1), Jitterbug Geordie (14/1), Aurigny Mill (25/1), Weaver's Answer (25/1), Ellofagetaway (66/1), Meraki Mist (100/1), Double Or Quits (150/1), Benville Bridge (200/1), Regal 'n Bold (250/1)

TAHMURAS made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Ffos Las so this winning pointer is taken to go one better now for Paul Nicholls. Blow Your Wad also went well on his first start when second in a Warwick bumper and rates the chief threat, although newcomers Jumping Jupiter and Jitterbug Geordie appeal on paper and are worth monitoring in the betting.
