Forecasts

Prospect (5/2), Foreseeable Future (10/3), King Of Tonga (9/2), Stalingrad (11/2), Starsong (7/1), Impeller (11/1), Soul Seeker (12/1)

PROSPECT is the percentage call having got back on track with a good second in a stronger race than this at Thirsk 13 days ago. King of Tonga was somewhat disappointing at Beverley on his most recent outing but has been given a real chance by the assessor and can't be overlooked.
