Forecasts

Betweenthesticks (11/4), Herakles (7/2), Gis A Sub (18/5), Spanish Angel (8/1), Brian The Snail (12/1), Ernest Rutherford (12/1), Zuffolo (12/1), Saaheq (14/1), Speedacus (20/1), Street Life (22/1), Refuge (33/1)

BETWEENTHESTICKS should step up on his comeback and can end his losing run off a career-low mark for his in-form yard. Herakles arrives in good heart and is next best ahead of returning veteran Brian The Snail.
