Forecasts

Felix Summus (6/4), Themanintheboots (5/2), Lipa K (5/1), Our Champ (9/1), Curley Stroke (14/1), Neddies Boy (18/1), Let's Go Joe (20/1), River Tara (25/1), Man Of The House (33/1), Prayer Moon (40/1), Run Getaway Run (150/1)

THEMANINTHEBOOTS and Felix Summus represent top stables and might have this between them. The former, who is related to three bumper winners, takes marginal preference without the benefit of market clues, and Neddies Boy is the clear pick of those with experience.
