Forecasts

U Sure Do (9/4), Tiger Mask (3/1), The Strikin Viking (8/1), Shamal Wind (9/1), Atomic Mass (11/1), Tuscan Point (11/1), Cracking Man (11/1), Hill Street Blues (12/1), The Childe Of Hale (28/1), Epicurian Lad (33/1), Mission In Malton (40/1)

U SURE DO showed plenty of ability when very nearly causing a surprise at a huge price at Haydock recently and sets quite a high standard. Tiger Mask caught the eye when over 2 lengths behind the selection in the same race so must be respected from a yard that won this 2 years ago with subsequent Group 3 winner Cold Case. Richard Fahey has a good record in this and Tuscan Point looks the pick of his 3 runners.
