Forecasts

End Result (3/1), Land Of Eagles (9/2), Mille Miglia (5/1), Sundayinmay (5/1), How Hard Can It Be (13/2), Meadram (8/1), Millions Memories (16/1), Starfighter (25/1), Junkanoo (28/1), Taskheer (28/1), Motataabeq (40/1), Ravenswing (40/1), Abstract (66/1), Rendition (100/1)

MEADRAM shaped well after 5 months off at Wolverhampton recently and looks ready to strike with that outing under his belt. How Hard Can It Be made an encouraging start for her new yard when third over C&D 22 days ago and can be marked up having been caught further back than ideal. Sundayinmay appeals as the type who'll win more races this winter and completes the shortlist.
