Forecasts

Uncle Ticky Bird (9/2), Stroke Of Mercy (6/1), Rockingthetimeaway (6/1), California Boy (6/1), Full Go (8/1), Equestrian Affair (17/2), Shiny Silva (10/1), Pontiac (14/1), Youre My Sunshine (16/1), Labrausco (22/1), Northern Tune (25/1), Summer Fling (28/1), Secret Reef (28/1), Tony Soprano (28/1)

ROCKINGTHETIMEAWAY was much improved last time and should come home in front. Uncle Ticky Bird could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Stroke Of Mercy edges it for third.
