9/2

Forecasts

Hour By Hour (2/1), Angel Time (4/1), Frequent Flyer (4/1), United Force (9/2), Strategia (9/2), Hello Arthur (11/2), Carvetii (16/1)

Scottish raider HOUR BY HOUR can build on his good reappearance second at Pontefract and go one better under David Probert. Ryan Moore gets the call up for United Force who can bounce back from a disappointing run at Newcastle and provide the chief threat ahead of Strategia, who may benefit from this drop back to 7f.
