Forecasts

Getaway Vic (11/5), Loki's Mischief (7/2), Born In The West (4/1), Ahanaglogh (9/2), Pike Road (5/1), Desert Guest (5/1), Remember Moi (33/1), Fully Gaden (33/1), Ballytechno (50/1), Blue Tornado (50/1), Blue Razz (80/1), As Good As Can Be (100/1)

Only a handful of these have been seen under Rules and it's BORN IN THE WEST who is fancied to go a place better than when finishing runner-up at Newton Abbot 12 days ago. Ahanaglogh, Getaway Vic and Loki's Mischief look the main dangers before the benefit of market clues.
