Forecasts

Forceful Speed (15/8), Ron O (4/1), Flight Of Angels (4/1), Highwaygrey (11/2), Stressfree (8/1), Bringbackmemories (9/1), Skilled Warrior (25/1)

FORCEFUL SPEED resumed winning ways fitted with a tongue strap at Pontefract 3 months ago and could have more to offer if all is well. He can go in again. Stressfree is a likely improver now handicapping for David O'Meara having arrived from France and is of firm interest. Flight of Angels can also feature again.
