Forecasts

End Zone (13/8), Little Jo (4/1), Strangerontheshore (11/2), Mi Capricho (11/2), Shalaa Asker (11/2), Kodiellen (11/1), Propagation (28/1), Turbo Command (80/1)

END ZONE had shaped well on his penultimate start and, with excuses for his latest outing, he can get back on track now only 1 lb higher than his last winning mark. The 5-y-o was ridden too aggressively at Thirsk, so he can leave that effort behind to return to winning ways. He is preferred to Little Jo who is also on a workable mark, with dual C&D winner Strangerontheshore completing the shortlist.
