11/2

Forecasts

Lincoln Rockstar (9/4), Executive Pool (9/2), Hot Team (11/2), Billy Bathgate (13/2), Twoforthegutter (7/1), Humble Spark (8/1), Casa Luna (10/1), The Navigator (28/1), Princess Nieve (50/1), Coeur De Coeurs (66/1)

A few with chances but the verdict goes to recent Carlisle scorer HOT TEAM who still looks ahead of his mark under a penalty for that commanding victory. Executive Pool is next on the list for his new handler, with Lincoln Rockstar and Billy Bathgate also in the picture.
