Forecasts

Surf Club (1/1), Solly Attwell (9/2), Stockdale (6/1), Jacenry (15/2), Custers Mistake (14/1), Dubai Clover (20/1), Gaye Winnie (25/1), Eltico (25/1), Doyen Flyer (28/1), Gamigin (28/1), True Destiny (33/1), Ballycairn (33/1), Townhill Penny (40/1), Mosaaheb (50/1)

SURF CLUB was impressive switched to fences on Saturday and on that evidence, his current mark is a lenient one reverting to timber. Solly Attwell is open to progress, with True Destiny another to consider on return given his record fresh.
