Forecasts

Positive Thinker (2/1), Tomjackwilliam (11/4), Big Debates (13/2), Cinsa (15/2), Union Park (12/1), Whatsavailable (16/1), Cerberus (16/1), Spring Meadow (18/1), Caldwell Diamond (18/1), Pakens Rock (25/1), Jacksons Gold (25/1), Rebel Early (66/1)

TOMJACKWILLIAM improved further after 10 months off when losing out only narrowly to a similarly progressive sort with a fitness edge over C&D 3 weeks ago and can one better with further progress likely. Positive Thinker is also on the upgrade and looks the obvious threat as he bids for the hat-trick, with Union Park another to consider.
