Forecasts

Time's Eye (11/4), Lady Mojito (7/2), Cloud Cover (4/1), Merry Minister (9/2), Unequal Love (9/2), Isle Of Jura (12/1), Ribble Rouser (33/1), Rollz Royz (40/1), Violets Star (150/1)

TIME'S EYE made a satisfactory handicap debut at Chepstow 5 weeks ago and is taken to open her account now fitted with cheekpieces. Unequal Love is an interesting newcomer, while Lady Mojito, successful at Redcar when last seen in October, is another player.
