Forecasts

Fox Power (10/3), King Of Scotia (9/2), Maysan (6/1), Epsom Faithfull (6/1), Covert Mission (7/1), Hul Ah Bah Loo (15/2), Photon (10/1), Lady Lavina (10/1), Intricate Pillar (11/1), Smart Deal (16/1)

FOX POWER has dropped to a lenient mark and is worth a chance to bounce back to form having rejoined his former stable since last seen at Yarmouth 80 days ago. The in-form Hul Ah Bah Loo should be involved if he gets the breaks and Intricate Pillar can't be dismissed.
