Forecasts

Ramensky (5/4), Green Machine (5/4), Biscoff Joe (13/2), Majestic Jameela (16/1), Grain Of Hope (66/1)

GREEN MACHINE made a promising start at Kempton before Christmas and can make it second time lucky with improvement on the way. Ramensky could have more to offer over this sort of trip this year and is the danger.
