Forecasts

Winnie Woodnutt (11/4), Steps Match (7/2), Rudy Catrail (4/1), Greenway Machine (15/2), Fr Gilligansvoyge (15/2), Father Jed (14/1), Gonedairy (16/1), Highland Sting (20/1), Ragin Cajun (20/1), Zanjabeel (25/1), Pino Boy (33/1), Laughing Trix (33/1), Danegeld (125/1)

WINNIE WOODNUTT reverts to fences with the prospect of more to come now her stamina is drawn out more so can open her account in this sphere. Both Step's Match (second choice) and Rudy Catrail bring solid credentials to the table though and should ensure she doesn't have things all her own way.
