Forecasts

Spit Spot (15/8), Pistoletto (7/2), Lunar Shadow (4/1), Thefastnthecurious (11/2), Stormingin (17/2), Glory And Honour (12/1)

SPIT SPOT fluffed her lines when favourite on her course reappearance but she remains one who should win races for her new trainer James Fanshawe and is given another chance. Last-time-out Wolverhampton winner Glory And Honour is second choice ahead of this year's dual course scorer Stormingin.
