Forecasts

The Thin Blue Line (5/2), Good Luck Fox (5/2), Atiyah (3/1), Primo's Comet (15/2), Bossipop (9/1), Cool Spirit (14/1)

ATIYAH arrives on the back of a career-best success at Chelmsford City so is hard to side against back on turf off a 2 lb lower mark. In-form The Thin Blue Line is feared most, although last year's winner Primo's Comet and C&D scorer Good Luck Fox both need considering too.
