Forecasts

Fanzone (11/4), Twilight Guest (3/1), Sparkle In His Eye (16/5), Concert Boy (13/2), True Nation (7/1), Red Evelyn (7/1), Keeper's Choice (15/2), Channel Packet (20/1), Profitar Rules (20/1), New Tycoon (20/1)

CONCERT BOY is on a career-low mark and should strip fitter for his recent debut for Katie Scott so could be worth chancing under a young apprentice who looks good value. Fanzone is respected, while Red Evelyn should give a good account in front on her return.
