Forecasts

Come On John (10/3), Loose Lips (10/3), Lady Lou (9/2), Nietzsche's Star (6/1), Ba Na Hills (13/2), Urban Road (8/1), Steppes (11/1), Hello Power (12/1), Moon Bay (14/1), Cobra Kai (25/1), Dandy's Diva (66/1), Perseption (100/1)

Another chance is given to LOOSE LIPS who was caught too far back when dropped to 6f at Wolverhampton last time and has a solid chance based on his near-miss over C&D prior to that. Lady Lou will be a threat if able to to translate her recent Southwell improvement to this place. Ba Na Hills rates a possible improver in handicaps and completes the shortlist.
