Forecasts

Fortamour (3/1), Air Raid (7/2), Abolish (4/1), Mark's Choice (4/1), Justanotherbottle (9/2), Ava Go Joe (7/1), Music Society (9/1), Speedacus (14/1), Mokaatil (18/1)

MARK'S CHOICE has won on this card for the last 2 years and he's taken to bounce back quickly from his poor run at Ayr last weekend and land course win number 8. Music Society, bang there for a long way in the Ayr Bronze Cup last Friday, and Jed O'Keeffe's Air Raid may give him most to do.
