Forecasts

Twoforthegutter (11/10), The Navigator (7/2), Trailblazer (5/1), Crystal Guard (6/1), Laudable (7/1), Epona Pas (11/1), Moush (28/1), Reams Of Love (33/1), Pammi (50/1)

TWOFORTHEGUTTER certainly wasn't winning out of turn here a fortnight ago but up 3 lb in another handicap lacking strength in depth, the follow up may well be forthcoming, Crystal Guard also got it right last time and is the obvious threat.
