Forecasts

Jack Sparowe (5/2), My Ambition (5/2), Eye Of The Water (6/1), Raqraaq (7/1), Fitzrovia (7/1), Havana Goldrush (15/2), Uncle Dick (11/1), Lunar Space (11/1), Exigency (14/1), Codswallop (16/1), El Hibri (16/1), Iconic Knight (22/1), Keeper's Choice (25/1), Marley Head (80/1)

MY AMBITION completed a double at this track in May/June and produced another big effort at Windsor last time, so this thriving 4yo is the obvious one to side with. Eye of The Water usually gives his running and has a solid record at the track, so he's likely to be on the premises and market support for the unexposed Jack Sparowe would look significant.
