Forecasts

Fastman (10/3), Cedar Rapids (7/2), Notforalongtime (5/1), Swiss Army Officer (11/2), Double Martini (8/1), Tynamite (11/1), The Bog Bank (11/1), Indian Raj (12/1), Focus Required (14/1), Well Suited (16/1), Sweeping Statement (25/1), Sevenal (25/1), Macadam's Rock (25/1), Fox Leicester (28/1), Laurens Company (33/1), Is Fantastic (50/1), Sandyman (50/1)

Recent C&D scorer NOTFORALONGTIME remains well treated on his peak form so he might be up to going in again if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Course regular Tynamite has been running well this autumn and is likely to be on the premises again. Swiss Army Officer took a step back in the right direction over C&D last time and is also on the shortlist.
