Forecasts

Collective Power (3/1), Brokers Tip (10/3), Hodd's Girl (6/1), Cometh The Man (13/2), King's View (15/2), Maggie Thunder (9/1), Hero Of The Hour (12/1), Harry's Hill (14/1), Crystal Dawn (16/1), Two Metres Apart (22/1), Attelboro (25/1)

C&D scorer COLLECTIVE POWER arrives on the back of a good second over C&D a fortnight ago and is taken to go one better here off a handy-looking mark. Maggie Thunder has a good record round here and is next on the list, with Brokers Tip not ruled out either, especially if the fitting of a visor ekes out some improvement.
