Forecasts

Hightimeyouwon (11/4), Chavajod (16/5), Hodd's Girl (9/2), Final Voyage (5/1), Freescape (6/1), Nahori (17/2), Brains (16/1), Imadpour (50/1)

HODD'S GIRL won well here 3 weeks ago and could be good for the follow up after a 5 lb rise. Hightimeyouwon and the unexposed Nahori are a couple of the likely dangers.
