Forecasts

Thisiswhatitmeans (3/1), Rugger Bugger (10/3), Licence To Thrill (7/2), Ampersand (6/1), Tribute To You (8/1), Seattle Ripper (8/1), Northern Warrior (12/1), Honshu (12/1), Trade War (14/1), Knight Warrior (16/1), Hunza Road (16/1), Lucky Dollar (20/1)

LUCKY DOLLAR should take a hand on handicap debut from a fair mark, while Northern Warrior is perhaps the most interesting of those left.
