Forecasts

Storm Fox (15/8), Class Member (2/1), Lady Jane Grey (6/1), Crime Fiction (17/2), South Dakota Sioux (9/1), Furnicoe (12/1), Global Effort (16/1)

CLASS MEMBER confirmed that sprinting is the way to go with her when chasing home a likeable rival at Chepstow last week and she can get off the mark in this tight contest. Storm Fox is in fine heart at present and can give another good account alongside fellow last-time-out winner South Dakota Sioux.
