Forecasts

Fouroneohfever (11/8), Portsmouth (3/1), Star Pupil (6/1), Surrey Force (10/1), Timetobenice (12/1), Quickly (12/1), Tabletalk (18/1), Sense Of Charm (22/1), All Greek To Me (25/1), Spanish Vega (28/1), Budding (40/1), Arcturian (50/1), Soham Ranger (125/1), Ring That Bell (150/1)

FOURONEOHFEVER ran another promising race at Newcastle and looks the way to go up in trip with William Buick booked. Sense of Charm is an interesting newcomer and C&D-winner Timetobenice can go well under a penalty, while there is also more to come from Portsmouth.
