Forecasts

Sportinthepark (9/4), Butcher Hollow (11/4), The Other Mozzie (7/2), Tactical Affair (9/2), Jassur Des Brosses (14/1), Mount Anglesby (16/1), Thegraveyardbookie (25/1), Garswood Gold (25/1), Howdoyalikeherhome (33/1), Brave Crogha (125/1)

Having run out an easy winner of a point, BUTCHER HOLLOW has been picked up for a hefty sum, and this looks a good chance to maintain his unbeaten record switched to Rules. Fellow point recruit Sportinthepark is an obvious danger and Tactical Affair looks the pick of those with bumper experience.
