Forecasts

Cloud King (4/6), So Obsessed (13/2), Mariamne (7/1), Justahunch (15/2), Cogsworth (16/1), Smooth Silesie (18/1), Grid Iron Maiden (25/1), Drinkable (28/1), Belvoir Kitten (80/1), Snow Boots (80/1), Ludberg (80/1)

SO OBSESSED justified strong support in emphatic fashion at Chelmsford earlier this month, proving well suited by the drop to 5f (free-going sort), and a 5 lb rise underestimates her. Cloud King hinted at ability as a 2-y-o so may do better in handicaps this season, while Smooth Silesie is respected back down in class.
