Forecasts

Call Me Ginger (2/1), The Thin Blue Line (7/2), Only Spoofing (5/1), Show Me Show Me (11/2), Streamline (10/1), Ready Freddie Go (10/1), Sunday Sovereign (16/1), Jojo Rabbit (20/1), Never Dark (25/1)

CALL ME GINGER was 3 lb out of the handicap when scoring at Ascot last week and makes fair appeal under a penalty here. The Thin Blue Line and Show Me Show Me look the likeliest dangers.
