Forecasts

Good Morning Alex (11/8), Ready Or Nott (7/2), Wonderful Lives (7/2), Starlight Stanley (13/2), Emu War (11/1), Naturalia (25/1), Millbuie (50/1), Nana's Ancestors (80/1)

GOOD MORNING ALEX confirmed his effectiveness on turf in no uncertain terms when bolting up at Wetherby last week and a penalty looks unlikely to stop him improving his already impressive strike rate. Wonderful Lives failed to meet expectations at Newcastle but cheekpieces now go on and he rates the main threat.
