Forecasts

We'renotreallyhere (11/8), Taj Neom (10/3), Nightout (10/3), Captain Dandy (11/2), Bay Of Hope (22/1), Harry's Halo (28/1), Justwatchmestrugle (40/1), Beautron (50/1), H Key Lails (50/1), Secret Joy (80/1), George Lodge (80/1)

WE'RENOTREALLYHERE has had plenty of chances already but ran up to his best when runner-up over further at Wolverhampton 7 days ago and he may well be up to putting his experience to good use and coming out on top. Nightout has similarly displayed fair form to date and is a live threat, whilst market support for newcomers Taj Neom or Captain Dandy would need to be viewed positively.
