Forecasts

Hover On The Wind (11/8), Blue Collar Lad (11/2), Eight Mile (6/1), Twilight Fun (17/2), Northcliff (17/2), Porfin (10/1), Zina Colada (14/1), Em Jay Kay (16/1), Hurricane Kiko (22/1), Kangaroo (25/1), Primrose Maid (33/1)

The vote goes to HOVER ON THE WIND, who was a good third on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster off a 13 lb higher mark last term and will hopefully be ready to roll on his return to action this time round, too. Blue Collar Lad will be a threat if ridden with a bit more restraint than at Wolverhampton recently, while Eight Mile and Northcliff should both be in the shake-up.
