Forecasts

Jubilee Express (10/11), Mister Who (15/8), Twin Power (3/1), Revasser (11/2), Wind Of Fortune (8/1), Grey D'alco (9/1), No Tackle (9/1), Hilnamix (16/1), Often Overlooked (40/1), Caeruleum (66/1), Flemen's Tipple (80/1), Claude Almighty (100/1)

The vote goes to TWIN POWER, who's worth another chance to confirm bumper-debut promise now going hurdling. Penalised-winner Jubilee Express is an obvious threat, while claims can also be made for Mister Who and Revasser.
