Forecasts

Touchwoodexpress (2/1), Tribal Glory (5/2), Newmill Getaway (3/1), Walking It Off (3/1), Little Peter (10/3), Cloughroe (25/1), Irene's Pearl (33/1), Atacama Sky (50/1), Frites (125/1)

TRIBAL GLORY looked a very uncomplicated ride when making all over C&D a month ago and he's fancied to successfully defy a penalty. Little Peter and Newmill Getaway are the main threats on form, though Touchwoodexpress won his sole point start and has joined a very good yard.
