Forecasts

Caracristi (9/4), Hot Team (4/1), Oscar Doodle (9/2), Buachaill (13/2), Top Attraction (15/2), Channel Packet (10/1), Mad Artymaise (18/1), Turbulent Power (22/1), Waud House (33/1)

CARACRISTI justified market confidence when off the mark at Thirsk 2 weeks ago and can follow up off 2 lb higher. Hot Team is feared most ahead of Top Attraction.
