Forecasts

Fierce (2/1), Skallywag Bay (9/4), Sergeant Pep (4/1), My Delilah (7/1), Cluedo (8/1), Ardad's Great (17/2), Beau Roc (12/1), Sugar Hill Babe (22/1)

FIERCE is a likeable type who gained reward for a string of consistent efforts when scoring at Nottingham a month ago and, with cheekpieces applied, he could up his game again, so he takes preference over Sergeant Pep and Skallywag Bay.
