Forecasts

Paddy The Horse (10/11), Half Shot (11/4), Battle Of Toro (3/1), Fringill Dike (9/2), Bonne Vitesse (13/2), Bollin Neil (8/1), Comedaygoday (14/1)

A few with chances but it could pay to forgive FRINGILL DIKE his Carlisle flop now back at his favoured Hexham and he could bag a fourth C&D success off an attractive mark. Half Shot has made an excellent start to life with Iain Jardine and is next on the list back in this sphere, with the consistent Battle Of Toro appealing as the pick of the rest.
