Forecasts

Call To Action (5/6), Artistic Mission (4/1), Helga Brandt (9/2), La Boo (5/1), Romanee (13/2), Notion In Motion (20/1), Al Muqdad (22/1), Wiggins B (22/1), Tees Harriet (40/1), Exponential (40/1), Soul Singer (50/1), Joons Dream (125/1)

Preference is for CALL TO ACTION, who only narrowly failed to make a winning debut at Southwell earlier this month and should have learnt plenty from that experience. La Boo and Helga Brandt are feared most.
